Re: Is this aa bad sign?

Delany, I cannot answer you specifically except to say it is best not to compare ourselves to someone else. We all react so differently to things. The other patient may not be on the same meds. I hate that you feel it is a bad sign. I have always associated steroids with puffiness, if that is any consolation. I hope your doctor can offer some clarification and that you get some peace of mind. Keep the faith.
