I live in Northern Michigan. Exactly what I do-bundle up and get moving. I believe the more fresh air the better. It hurts but I know I must keep moving, and pray to God that his will is to keep this at a minimum manageable.

I am new to this diagnosis and have a question. Currently on 10 mg Pred. Worried about getting sick being around others in this cold/flu/Covid season. I don’t want to isolate myself from my grandkids but it seems one of them is always sick with something.

I used to laugh at a coworker a few years before COVID as he was constantly washing his hands before and after breaks along with coughing into his elbow. After COVID I became just like him and still got COVID but I haven't had the flu or a cold since I started being better with the hand to mouth hygiene. Being careful around the grandkids has to be a different story. Maybe just ask their mom and dad to keep them away if they are sick. Didn't have that problem with my grandma as she chewed snuff and sat next to a nasty spittoon and I wasn't about to give her a kiss. Did give her hugs but my head was turned the other way.
