Is Celiac An Immune Thing?

[happy4dolphins]

Hello,

Well after taking the Prednsone since Feb 24, I began having trobles taking it.

The last report from the Rheumy said "HLA 27 negative with edema, but

no erosions seen on MRI of SI Joins, improved markedly with low dose

steroid (until I began to be disconnected-that's another story). I

would hate to diagnose her with AS and hope this is transient and we

have broken the cycle of pin. I recommend she cut predsnione by 1 mg

every 3 to 7 days as tolerated.If weaning causes sever pain, she is to

go back up on the pred and read about methotrexate and sulfasalazine."

So, as of today, she went to do a pressure test. I layed on the

table and she pushed both of my hip bones, and I about FLEW OFF OF

THE TABLE in pain!! WOWZERS! Both of my legs and arms went flailing

up, I had no idea that was going to happen. She said that's was proof. I also had an MRI and x rays done. I do have some extra bone growth in my left hip joint.

I"ll bet this is why my back has hurt so much more when it gets closer to my cycle.

She

gave me a script for Plaquinen (sp) 200 mg twice a day. I told hubby

that I have buttitis. ahhhhh haaaaaa!!

Also said stay on the celiac diet.
