Saw my Rheumatologist for checkup. All went well and he does not want to see me until December. !!!!! I can have lab work done every two months instead of every five weeks. He tells me all my lab work is completely normal. I can stop the Alendronic Acid and Calcium as my Dexa Scan is normal but I must continue to take Vitamin D. I finished the Prednisone taper in December. I must also continue the Imuran as it is suppressing the Anti JO1. I am well and stable. I don't think I will ever be exactly as I was before but I am doing just fine. I write this post for all new people visiting the site that you may know there is life after Myositis. It takes time and patience and the right Meds from a good doctor who knows His/Her business. My thanks to all my old friends on this site. Without you I don't know how I would have got through the last 20 months.,thank you. Autumm
