I agree that this thread is getting really long. What about moving over to the new forum for AIH? I'll start a new thread there with a response to Jody515.

First let me say I am happy to have found you as a group. Second, how about someone start a new posting on this because this one is getting so big it takes forever to pull up.
Also, I have noticed some of you saying you will be coming off prednisone soon. How can this be?? I was diagnosed in either 2001 or 2002, have been on it since, & the doctor doesn't take me off or even suggest it?? What does the doctor say about taking someone off?? I believe I am to be on this for the rest of my life?? Thanks again, Jody

Good Luck today. I wonder what is going on w/your ribs? I think your GI will probably be able to give you more information. You always feel better after talking to them, huh? Well let us know as soon as you hear something.

Hi everyone :)
Kim, glad to hear that you get to reduce the pred finally!!!
I'm having a blood draw this afternoon and will find out the results tomorrow morning and then I have an appt. with my GI at 10:30.
I've been having problems w/ inflammed cartilage in my left ribs...at least that's what I think it is. At first I thought it might be pluerisy, but now I'm thinking otherwise. I went to see my GP Monday b/c of it....it was very painful. She prescribed an anti-inflammatory (Naproxen). I've taken 5 pills of it so far and while it hasn't gotten any worse, I don't think it's helping yet. I read on the internet that Naproxen could elevate LFT's, so I called my GI nurse yesterday to make sure it was ok to be taking it. She checked w/ my GI and he said it was fine....well, if my LFT's are elevated today, I'm going to be mad!!
Anyways, crossing my fingers for another reduction tomorrow, hopefully I'll be down to 5mg pred and then hopefully off it in 2 more weeks.
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Hi Sara...Yes, I heard from my nurse yesterday afternoon. Finally, the time has come to reduce my prednisone. They put me down to 10 mg and to be tested again in 2 weeks. I Pray that I can hold it steady...Thanks for Praying for me, it is surely working!!!!
How are you feeling? Is the nausea subsiding at all?
Gentle liver...I could not handle the imuran. I felt great on it, but it caused a toxicity in my body, and I was taken off of it and switched to 6 MP. Which is basically the same thing, but for some reason people who can't handle imuran do well on 6 MP. It seems to be going good now. Let me be the first to say, having a toxicity to imuran is rare. Most people do fabolous on imuran and never, ever have a problem. So feel pretty confident that you'll do great, like most others do. Most people seem to like imuran.
