    About Me

    I'm a Christian wife, mother of 3/3 in-law kids and grandmother of 4. I have been driving school bus for 20 years and really enjoy the kids I work with who are all kids with special needs. I read incessantly--mostly novels and my Bible. I love to laugh and fish and play games.

      Hello Jesse If you're getting ongoing pain, it doesn't sound as though you're doing too well yet. Maybe the damage from prednisone just has to heal first. I too am a Christian, have 3 kids and 6 grandkids. I take care of my mother. Sometimes very exhausted but we have to keep going. Keep smiling and praying.

    • Close Sarcoidosis

      I was diagnosed in July, 2000 with stage 3 pulmonary sarcoidosis. I spent 2 years on prednisone to treat the symptoms. I am doing well now and have ongoing joint pain and chest pain at times.

      Treatments

      Prednisone Working / Worked
      I will not go on prednisone again. It did get the sarcoid into remission but I also had diabetes with it and it made me crazy. My personality was so different.
      Voltaren Working / Worked
      They both alleviate pain on my hands and hips so that I can funtion. I don't take Vioxx any more but do take diclofenac in its place
