Well, bother

[gridlore]

I've posted that I've been bothered recently by pain in my legs. I thought it was due to my moving around more after long periods of inactivity. Today I noticed that my ankles and lower legs are swollen. Badly. Checked the medication sheet for Prednisone...

Listed as serious side effects. Fuck. Doctor contacted, and I'm suspending the Pred until told differently. Damnit, this stuff is letting me breathe!

Bummer. Hope they figure something out. But Prednisone is why Jerry Lewis looked so puffy for so many years. Steroids kept his back pain in check. He'd rather be puffy than in pain.
Compression socks will help if it remains in just the legs.
