Dear Nigel,

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. There was a time in the 1990s when I had to take high dosages of prednisone for several months. What I found really helpful was a book written by a physician for her sister a classical cellist who also had to be on prednisone.

You may read more about the book called coping with prednisone at the following link at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Coping-Prednisone-Other-Cortisone-Related-Medicines/dp/0312195702

I highly recommend it. If I saw that my copy I'd send it to you.there is indeed a light at the end of the steroid tunnel. It's good you take measures and your doctors have apparently listened.

All the best to you,

kat
