Tomorrow I have an appointment with my rheumy. I just received a letter in the mail that effective Dec 3, he is retiring!
This is GOOD for me because I wanted to find a new one anyway. Now I am free to ask him tomorrow how to get an appointment with someone in one of the top hospitals for rheumatology

Prednisone, inflammation and fatigue, oh my
I've been taking prednisone for the past 5 days or so. A good dose - down to 35 mgs now. My body was so inflamed and my current (alternative) treatment wasn't working. Since I have lots of extra prednisone in my closet (there's a story to that) and it's staved off my polymyositis in the past, I decided to start taking it. Yes, yes, I know the side effects. And yes, I know I have to taper off. And yes, I know I shouldn't be self medicating. My fatigue was SO bad from inflammation I had to do something. Bad enough it put me out of work.
