    It was the chemo that was easing mine as hadn't had steroids for ages..5 years on chemo OMG..is it a lower dose than for cancer patients?

    Yup, the dose is tiny compared to having it for cancer - I just find it slightly freaky to be taking it .... especially for such a long time :o

    Dr gave me some NSAIDs .... helping a little bit - hoping they'll kick in a bit more in a few days.

    This is so good to hear. The back pain sounds horrible, especially with the potential allergic reaction to things that might help it. What a mean and unfair price to have to pay for being off the chemo drugs.

    Glad you had a restful day, you take care.
