@ebjj4health I have not heard of sternum and scapular. So you are off prednisone? Maybe you were taken off too soon, did the doctors ever order an MRI? This is important because no one can see clippers, only the effects of it. Ask the doctor about doing an MRI (I think it’s standard protocol). An MRI lets the doctor see where the lesions were/are. Please get back to us and tell what the new MRI shows!

@becsbuddy I am off prednisone and currently on Mycophenolate. I was on prednisone for 3 months, and brain MRI after stopping prednisone showed no evidence of inflammation. They discussed IV chemotherapy, but my insurance denied it. Would that be a better treatment?
