Thank you! Because I was on 25mg prednisone when I had my bone marrow biopsy, I don't have a true picture of my SMM risk of progression. I'll be having another biopsy in November when I have been off prednisone for a full month. My rheumatologist caught the probability of the blood disorder in his initial blood work. He believes that part of my shoulder pain and fatigue is from SMM because the pain was not fully relieved with prednisone.
