My skin rash on my leg still is in a healing mode finally after two more times with the 9-day Prednisone Treatment; however, now I’m having a rash on the front of my neck and it seems to be spreading. I have been given another prescription for a skin antibiotic cream. It’s in transit from my mail-order pharmacy! Lord I hope it works. It itches like crazy and is way too close to face and eyes. My Personal Trainer thinks it’s anxiety! I need to educate that young man about the hellish symptoms associated with RA. I think I deserve a rest after two knee replacements and a hip replacement AND neuropathy of both arms and hands and front of lower legs. Good grief.. at 82, what the heck is next. I’m very determined to keep it as normal as possible but ENOUGH ALREADY!😳🙏
