Hi
You mention that you are on pred to keep the kidneys in check. Is it working? I mean, does it keep the protein loss in check? They tried that for me...for over a year now.and it hasn't worked..but I was wondering if it was for you. It would abate my protein loss a bit.but not enough....I still think that had I started the pred a long time ago..say seven years ago when they mentioned it might be necessary if the kidneys got worse..that I might have had success using pred to control my disease..by the time I started pred last year..it was too late I guess..and it hasn't done much of anything.
I was just wondering how long ago you started the pred...like how far into your disease diagnosis..and what dose you take...where your protein levels stand as a result
