It is so comforting to hear stories of others who were stuck… And overcame! The stories of others who are in the same boat now, of fighting to reduce [prednisone], are strength to me. This group and the people in it… Hero’s to me and my lifeline to deal with something no one gets … But us. Thank you all for making me feel “normal”!
