Well say my Rheumy today. He said I'm holding my own quite well. I was hesitant at first to discuss the Naturopath with him but I took a deep breath & showed him the test results. He was fairly open abt it. He asked if no dairy had helped the intestinal/bowel issues & I said amazingly so & he thought that was good & noted it accordingly. He's taking my Prednisone down to half a pill every other day & if all stays as is then I'll be off it in November. Still on Plaqunel & Methotrexate though, these are not going anywhere yet for a bit. Oh well. Discussed the ongoing on and off pain I have but he said that it is generally just in keeping with living with Lupus/Arthritis. But he is concerned abt the lack of range of motion still in my one shoulder so he wants me to go for some physio for a while. I'm still thinking abt trying accupuncture for my wrists though, hmmmm.

that\'s interesting about the dairy. prednisone does take a while to go off of doesn\'t it? Glad to hear you are holding your own. my former neighbor had a frozen shoulder. I hope you never have that problem!
take care my friend.
Wow that\'s awesome that your doctor is willing to work with what your naturopath says, he must be a good doctor. That\'s great that you are able to come off the prednisone, I sure hope your shoulder and wrists feel better soon too! Have a wonderful weekend dear friend , Love and Prayers Sue
