Thanks for the information! I am currently on azathioprine and I seem to be tolerating it so far. I'm also on tamoxifen and weaning down on Prednisone. I'm hoping that this will be the successful cocktail! I have been on Prednisone since August 2017. I had another ct scan about a week and a half ago. My scan shows that everything is the same as my previous scan in 2017, which is good news that things haven't progressed, but that nothing has 'regressed'. Is it possible for the inflammations to reduce in size? I would love to get off of the steroids. I have just been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and I have a feeling that prolonged prednisone use may have been a contributor.

Have you considered a second opinion at a Mayo facility, @kimh? They really do have experts there.

I have MP, live in Australia and was on steroids for a few months early last year, now only on tomoxefen. My Dr took me off steroids as they discovered I had osteoporosis which is quite bad too, (yes steroids can make it worse)I now I have to have a needle every 6 months for osteoporosis called Prolia.
