rheumatoid arthritis
"I have polymyalgia rheumatitis in my joints. The only thing for this disease is prednisone so I take it.  I have had 10 lbs of weight gain, hot flashes all the time, excessive urination (at least 5 times during the night)  but the pain in my joints is gone.  I am slowly working my way off of prednisone 1 1/2 tabs right now)  within 12 - 15 weeks I should be off and my disease should be gone.  So I'm a lucky one."
