Hi @earoll99 , Thank you for your message! I have been tested for Lupus and that was ruled out and also Sjogren's I believe as well although I'll have to go back and check my blood work. I see my ENT this week (Wednesday) and I am going to ask if there is another medication besides prednisone that I can take as it's starting to make me very puffy.
My rheumatologist wants to do his own blood workup and I need to be off the prednisone for at least a week so I stopped today.
I will be back in touch - thank you for your comments and recommendations. I hope your daughter is doing well.
