                        Hi Tereese,  In your post, you mention that you are taking 20 mg of Prednisone.  Are you being treated for Polymyalgia?  I have been told by my rheumy, that a low dose of Prednisone, such as 7.5 mg and under, is supposed to control Polymyalgia, and low doses are relatively safe.  I would like to hear from you, and I will look forward to your reply.  Thanks and best of luck to you!  Shar
