Get off the Pregnisone. To be on it for more
then just a few years is dangerous and 25 yrs--
unheard off. Recently a Vetenerian friend of mine
had a dog come into their kennel that had been
on the stuff for 5 years (common steroid for vet).
They tried to wean the dog off of it and it died.
These days Drs can't stay on top of every medicine
and know everything. One has to take some
responsibility and research the meds they are
taking themselve. I have had Drs prescribe
contraindicated meds to me even. I have asthma
too.
