I t...My dearest Emily~ You are a very brave girl. I too had JRA as a child and now I also have lupus on top of RA. Along with a host of other issues all brought on by the Auto-immune break down in my body. I pray a lot, talk about it when I need to and vent when I must. I want you to know, I KNOW what you are going through and I will keep you in my prayers every single day. I didn't care for the prednisone either but it was neccessary to get my severe flare under control. I hope you can come off it very soon. Maybe they can give you one of the newer drugs in the near future that won't cause you the troubles Pred does. Personally, I call it the devils drug. I know we need it, but man I don't like it.<br /><br />You stay strong and we'll keep you in our prayers. Very gentle hugs from your momma's new blogging pal. TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
