Not really. Some days better than others. I see my rheumatologist in September and will be getting some more testing done to see what my SED and CRP results are. I had a bone density scan which showed osteopenia and had Vitamin D test done which was normal. Inactivity just seems to promote more stiffness so I force myself to get up and walk and do steps. But...bottom line is...I'm off prednisone and ha.ve not returned to the pain levels I had before. I've lost weight and the roundness in my face. Hair has returned to normal too. So thankful for these things. Walking seems key!
