Glad to hear you are coping, MAG, and also glad the doc warned you about your blood sugar. My is chronically low, if I don't watch the carbs. Two days of this last bout with the pred. I was out running errands and had to stop to eat some cheese and other protein because my blood sugar was so messed up. Pred will also give one the munchies and weight gain.

I hope after all of this the shot kicks in for you. I've been there and I understand the incapacitation, pain, and absolute need for relief. Good luck,
