This is a day of celebration....I tapered from 16 mg per day, 1 mg per month and today I start 13 mg prednisone per month (plus TCZ). PLUS my angiogram is scheduled for March 18 while you are all having afternoon tea. Moving forward and never alone, always with PMRGCAuk. 💖

When it comes to the forum, I spell support V-I-T-A-L!! I know the cardiologist doesn't understand the autoimmune aspect like this wonderful crew~!💖 (It is scary)
