It is the ONLY med which takes away the pain, and does have side effects such as weight gain!<br />Here's the link to my post explaining this illness when I had my first bout of this painful condition in 2012 - then I had another flare last April just prior to the trip to Sicily. I'm gradually being weaned off the med again as you can't just stop! Fortunately I'm pain-free now. . . . . . . but several pounds heavier, grrrrrrrr!<br /><br />http://abreathoffreshair-mary.blogspot.com/2012/10/under-cloud.html<br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-62947021633106327102018-02-27T02:23:19.651-05:002018-02-27T02:23:19.651-05:00Freezing here, too, Mary, not just in the UK... -1...Freezing here, too, Mary, not just in the UK... -11 Celsius last night, and -10 this morning as I got up... Not looking forward to standing around on windswept platforms today, waiting for the trains taking me to today's work place!<br />The magnolia is fantastic, it will take many more weeks here before we see anything like it.<br />What does prednisone mean? I have never heard the word.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-14112110103513584562018-02-27T01:29:58.844-05:002018-02-27T01:29:58.844-05:00Loved seeing your spring flowers, such a beautiful...Loved seeing your spring flowers, such a beautiful magnolia and of course my personal favourite the pretty daffodils.

Did not know you were on Prednisone - I know it has terrible side effects, so I'm sorry. Red wine and a little bit of chocolate are good for you!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-61307017056797171302018-02-26T16:39:27.289-05:002018-02-26T16:39:27.289-05:00Dear Mary, Thanks for the smile on my face.
