I think that was the problem, we didn't have a Rheumatologist available for anyone there. And when both my feet broke, believe or not, my ins didn't cover setting them. Nothing. I've had small doses of steroids, like injections and have done very well with those. Except I overdose much sooner than those doctors thought I would. The rest of what you've shared is very helpful, too. Thank you. A real blessing. Scotland is, and was, wonderful. We stayed in Glascow and in a village, in a mother-in-law apt, on a pasture just outside of Lockerbie. A place with much history in both places. Hugs to you. Thank you.

You have been through a very difficult life journey. I admire your inner strength. The value of quality of life has been mentioned often on this website. Those words hit home with me and it made a difference in my perspective on reducing prednisone too quickly. Your decision to pursue your own quality of life in spite of severe health problems is inspiring.

That must have been horrible, breaking both feet. Were you totally immobile?
