Hey Alexis, welcome! I don't have experience with that med, either, but Prednisone has been a huge relief in times of crisis for me in the past also. It's a lot that you're dealing with and you seem to be really level headed and doing your best to take care of yourself. It's very admirable and...

Also, I was on TPN for over a month after my first hospitalization. I had a tube in my arm and wore a back pack of "baby formula" every day with a pump that would feed me automatically. I didn't even have anything going in my mouth because I had ulcers in my mouth and esophagus -- so I totally...
