Comments on: Oral Prednisolone http://pollyannapenguin.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/oral-prednisolone/ This is a blog about me, my recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and my struggles to stay positive about it!

Interesting info about the study – I’d never heard of Gardasil and had no idea there was a vaccine for cervical cancer. Does that mean we’re behind the times in the UK?

I want to share this bit about a study that examined the cross effects of Gardasil with women who where on single stable does of prednisolone and other immunosuppressives.

The women experienced mild to moderate mucocutaneous flares over the watch period.
Was wondering how if any the side effects are going for you? Have you seen a scalar decline at all attributable to the dose?

I read about others taking them and think, “Wow, am I glad I don’t need those! I hope I never do!” So far (knock wood) I can just keep on saying that.

But of course this stupid disease DOES change. I’m sorry to read that you’ve been having such trouble with that knee, but very glad that you got to see a doctor so quickly (and with the added bonus of his being gorgeous!) and that he prescribed something that is pretty sure to work. Glad, too, that you only have to take the stuff for three days.

Be well, Polly. Enjoy the upcoming weekend!
