Ida : 10/26/2007 Hi Shar- It seems like we will be taking Prednisone forever. I am sorry to hear you had such a bad flare. Hope you are feeling better. I am stuck on 7 mg, which doesn't sound so bad after what you have just gone through. My new rheumatologist wants some tests (heart and kidneys)and then wants to increase the methotrexate. It will be two months until I see him, so there is really nothing new. Occasionally I have a minor flare, but nothing like the beginning. I take a pain pill and it usually helps. Trying not to increase the Prednisone. Hope you are feeling better. Let me know how you are doing. Ida
