Yay, housed and cabeled Deena!!!
IOON, I'm terrified, though. Someone tell me that the NP and doctor are right...that I won't get the myopathy symptoms again, even though they haven't completely gone away...that they had to do with the length I was on the steroids, and since this is such a short course (five days), I won't possibly get symptoms.
Are they giving you oral steroids, or nebulized steroids? Chris has had way fewer symptoms with the Pulmicort than he had with the Prednisone? Granted, it's been a few years since he had Prednisone, and none of his symptoms ever included myopathy, but my understanding is the Pulmicort minimizes the side effects, because it's a smaller dose, and it's breathed right into the lungs.
