Yes, I feel the same about the group. As I had to go to walk-in clinic this afternoon, it turns out that a cut on my leg has developed cellulitis, so now on antibiotics. Also BP up and have developed hypertension. Had to buy a home BP tester. Doctor feels this is directly related to the Prednisone, as I'm not predisposed to high BP or cellulitis in my life. Glad I'm weaning off of it, stiff fingers or not. A little disheartened and concerned at the moment. One day at a time.
