I remember someone identifying as Louisa but I'm not sure about 1840. I didn't know you were from Australia. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Mayo forum if you haven't been welcomed already.
I was in Sydney a few months ago. The small part of Australia I saw was beautiful. It was my first time being in Australia and I'm already thinking about going back to Australia for a second time. I spent most of the time in Sydney but I was also in Eden, Australia.
I didn't feel like the entire HealthUnlocked PMR forum felt my experience wasn't pertinent. It was mostly the one that was a little too direct. She seemed to think she was entitled to know everything and didn't filter some of her responses to me. It was just my personal experience with a couple of posters. I didn't mean to implicate the entire forum.
I remember people from Australia. LemonZest was one and I remember she was petitioning the government to receive a biologic. There are a few Australians on this forum too but I don't really care where people are from. I value anyone that wants to share their personal experiences.
I miss the HealthUnlocked forum and enjoyed sharing my personal experiences. I'm happy to be off prednisone for the last 5 years after 12 long years of taking prednisone daily. I would encourage everyone to keep trying to do the same.
Let me know when you and your brother get to zero. I will party with you!
@dadcue Thank you for your welcome! If ever you make it to Tasmania we run a holiday cottage at the top of our garden. It's called 19 Blue and is lovely!
The rather direct person on HU has upset more than one person but she is a fount of knowledge. It's encouraging to know that you got off prednisone after 12 years. I'm only on 2 mgs ATM but I had Hives at the beginning of December and guess what the treatment (plus antihistamines) was for that? Yup, 50 mgs of pred for a few days. So, my poor body was in a bit of turmoil and the adrenals are wondering what to do. I have experienced extra fatigue since then....
We shall all party virtually when my Bro and I get to ZERO!!!
