[QUOTE="Mr. Tibbs, post: 1990267, member: 748856"] it’s often misdiagnosed . they look for high levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6 protein) in your blood , and that is an indicator of it along with the 5-6 common symptoms . i’m on a prednisone plan where I will scale back 5mg per week over the next 5 weeks , until I can hopefully get by with 5mg-8mg daily for the rest of the entire year . every morning especially , just getting out of bed is a major , painful task . but it is getting slowly better . I started the meds on 12/27. he said it is really never a quick solution , but it’s rarely a long term condition either . they don’t know a lot about it , why you get it and why/when you get rid of it . basically primarily effects people over 60, and women 3-1 more often than men .
