Hi @sashakay, I really think there is something to that, "the courage to be vulnerable", coming down from a high place of ability to a place of pain and weakness, an acknowledgment of frailty. I am much better now and I have learned the lessons you expressed about dishes, weeds and other tasks. I don't push myself to accomplish more than is comfortable each day. I'm just grateful for what I can do and that I still can do some things. Thank you, Teri

I too appreciate the two last messages. I was diagnosed 15 years ago but with prednisone 1 I did not even know I had anything significant. After eliminating the prednisone completely 15 years later I hardly recognized the problems we’re back little by little. It has taken 6months to accept the new discomforts at age 78. I was not ready to give up a very active life! Very slowly the prednisone has done its work and I am much more positive for the future. Thank you all for sharing. It helps!
