It is time for another haircut. The barber’s location is near the Kaiser
West Los Angles Medical Center. While in the area I will pick up an
additional supply of prednisone pills. A couple of months ago I tried
doing away with the 1 mg per day that I was taking. It did not work as my
right shoulder gave too mush pain and pain pills did not help and my right
hand muscles were sore, stiff and jerky. On October 15th Dr. Bullpitt the
rheumatologist will give me advice and I will go on from there. With the
1mg I feel fine and the only concern is that the prednisone does
interferer the way the body uses calcium . I do take about 1500 units of
calcium a day. Maybe that is enough. The doctor will advise.
