Iam a 63 y/o black femalewith RA just about all of my labs come back with an elevated CRP,sometimes my Rhuematoilogist will put me on Prednisone 1 a day for 2 weeks then 1/2 tab for 1 week.I do have an enlarged heart,have CAD,and some vascular problems,I had a myocard infar. about 30 years ago,and CHF in1983.I have palpatations at night,but I don`t really take anything for it except aspirin,my previous Drs,never seemed interested in my condition,I assumed because I had too many DX. and I am only on Medicare.I now am going to some new Dr.s about 25 miles away.But My question is now shoud I be presently taking Predisone 5 mg.BID ,60 tabs,with no further instructions?from one of my specialist,I don`t won`t to say which.
