Update to “Dental Question”

I haven’t been able to speak to the dentist - apparently he’s away - so decided to call the Rheumatology Department at our hospital and ask their advice. I had to leave a voicemail message but one of the nurses called me back within the hour. She had checked with the doctors in the department and they were all agreed that I should NOT stop my prednisolone. In fact, she seemed surprised that I’d been advised to do this!! I’m so grateful that you advised me to check this again - all that remains is for me to have the treatment and then faint when I see the bill😉

I'm surprised - and the dentist needs to be reminded!

Sorry to bother you but you replied that you were surprised - I’d thought you were surprised that I’d been asked to stop it in the first place. Am I getting confused ?

I was VERY surprised he asked you to stop the pred - like the nurse.
