Thank you for your response!! I appreciate you sharing that info about the prednisone causing a fatter face because that has definitely happened to my husband. The prednisone does cause one thing after another after another. I'm so glad you're off of it!! My husband is down from 80 mg to 20 mg and still tapering so I'm hopeful. He's on Actemra to help the taper go more quickly. Fingers crossed!
Thanks also for sharing how you got used to sleeping with the CPAP machine. That is the one thing he's most afraid of thinking it will make him sleep less. I told him it might just have the total opposite affect. I'll share your story with him. It's always good coming from someone else with experience.
