I have resumed a prednisone taper, unfortunately. Dr B. would like to eliminate the lung nodules while my body gets used to the 100mg of Imuran, since we know that steroids work so well. I guess that's okay with me. I'm doing 40mg for a week, then 30, 20, 10 and probably 5. Then we shall see if 100mg of Imuran by itself will keep the nodules from re-appearing. One can pray.
I decided that the main reason I hate prednisone so much is the weight gain issue. I feel like I look stupid with a chipmunk face and I get p.o'ed when I have to wear jeans that are two sizes bigger than what I should be wearing. Guess I'll just have to Zumba and TurboJam my butt into shape.
Must fight the fat!
