Trading one evil for another ugh! I'm starting low dose prednisone until I get the transplant call and I am somewhat worried about the long term affects on my bones and blood sugars.

Honestly I dont worry about long term affects at the moment. That is probably stupid, but when I need steroids....I am worried about the NOW factor & the fact that I cant breathe.

I am happy to get relief. Obviously the idea is to avoid things getting to that point.....
