Good rheumatology appointment

I have successfully tapered off all of the prednisolone steroids and am still moving around well. The doctors are keeping me on what they consider a low dose of NSAID (5 ml naproxen), and ranitidine (stomach liner) so they can be cautious with me. My labs are trending improvement… not completely back to normal, but definitely much better. The doctors are pleased with my progress. Let’s hope that I can be completely medicine free soon! In the meantime, my moon face is slowly waning and I am practically back to my regular skinny self again.
