Started the prednisone taper down on Monday. Verapamil at 480. So far so good.
Other than the fact that I now cover approximatley 1/4 acre of land or about 5 holes of a medium size miniature golf course. AND STILL EATIN!

Good Luck, Don! Congrats, it's holding up. 
Don't worry about the acreage, it's only temporary.

hehe my first time on pred and I gained 10 lbs in 12 days. Of course they started me at 80mg. This time they used Medrol, and while I only gained a mere 5 lbs while in the hospital, the rage/bitch factor kicked in by day two. Clark didn't know whether he was going to come into the room to me in tears or ready to murder someone.
Oddly enough, after my 'talk' with the doctor he not only discharged me from the hospital but decided to discontinue the steroid taper hehe, guess he figured prison wasn't a good place for a clusterhead 
Hope your mood holds out and the beast takes a LONG walk of a short pier. Show him where the tea party is Don

I did and just as I got there the Vice Unit raided the place.
( Hmmm? I'll bet you meant the "diet" Jenny Craig didn't you? Never mind.)
