I have been on varying doses of Prednisone since Jan. I am finally stable enough that we are attempting a taper with the goal of getting off of it completely. I just finished a week at 7.5 and am starting at 5 mg this week. Are there symptoms that I should be looking for? My doc mentioned...

I am currently doing a round of IV's (vanco and merrem) at home. Here's the issue....my port line goes up through my neck and the last couple of days my muscles there have been very tight (making it difficult to push things quickly through the line). I know that it is not blocked-I get a blood...

I don't know about you guys, but it has been a tough month. Having lost some dear friends and fellow CFers, as well as currently doing IV's at home I find that I am struggling. So, time to get refocused. I am deciding to make today count. I am going to do what I can today and enjoy the love...
