    C-section?

    Lydia, I'm sorry for your losses. I actually want to be tested just to be sure I'm still ovulating. I've tried the tests from the drugstore but I've never had one tell me I was ovulating. I did recently buy a book that explains in great detail a woman's cycle. It's straight forward but I'm...

    Ankle Manifestation from CD?

    Thank you for the quick responses. I'm not sure that it the swelling and redness would be related to long term pred use since the swelling has come down since I upped my dose but it is worth asking my GI about. Thank you. I have also considered Lyme disease and have read that the test has...
