Hi Becky, Sorry to hear your T-scores got worse on the drug. That , too, is a bummer. I've been on prednisone since mid-May so maybe it's too early for it to have thinned my bones, But I had the autoimmune disorder (PMR +GCA, later) a year before diagnosis. For the last year, after my walk in the morning, all I could do was collapse on the couch because of the pain. So far, the prednisone as has been good to me, as good as it can be, I guess. I'll know more as I continue to taper. There is a family history of osteoporosis and also the PMR + GCA, my aunt had it too. And my mother-in-law, believe it or not. I hope the Cell Cept works for you.. It would be nice to hear if anyone was able to get better bone density through medications and exercise while staying on steroids.

@tsc. My sister was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease several years before me. As soon as she was started on steroids, she also started Fosamax and has had NO problems with osteoporosis! Guess its the luck of where you get diagnosed. Are you on an osteoporosis drug?
