                        Hi Shar-  This is my second post this month re the effects of Prednisone. I am glad to hear you are managing on the 5 mg with Vioxx. I am still on 9 mg and the energy level goes up and down, but better than before. It will be interesting to see if 9 mg can keep the Sedrate down.  Hope you continue to improve and will be one of the two-year cures.  Ida
