Great news that your GI appointment was moved up, and encouraging to hear you started exercising, @aksandralynn.

Excellent question about steroids, you may be on to something! They help with so much and they are a last resort for me. Methylprednisolone is on my allergy list after a medication challenge confirmed an adverse reaction.

Let’s do stay in touch.

What progress did you make with your new GI doc today?

Good morning. Thought I'd share a quick update. I am on week 2 of 4 weeks of prescribed steroids (Prednisone). Feeling actually good and no real side effects from the steroids. My son (who is a GP) shared that the steroids are like a 'bullet proof vest' so that's why I feel good. My referral was sent to Mayo in Phx and my records are being reviewed by a GI team. I will be contacted once those are reviewed and if they want me to come down for a consult. I am also having visceral massage on my belly area and back twice a week. Continuing with light exercise and eliminating foods that are high in inflammatory response for me.
