I'm sitting at my nephrologist's office. I just got my 4th dose of iron but more importantly, I got the results of my 24-hour urine test & blood work I did Tuesday.
Drum roll please....
After 2 1/2 weeks on Prednisone, and a gluten-free diet... I am down to only 1 GRAM of protein in my urine! (I had 5g before)
I know that means nothing to most but it's REALLY GOOD NEWS for me!!! Dr. B said if it keeps going down, I can start my taper at 6 weeks. I'll have to taper really slowly off the prednisone but the lower the dose, the fewer the side effects. I am so relieved!

Yeah!!! I was thinking about you Alisha while I was at HEB. I kept seeing Gluten-free this and Gluten-free that. I think I even ran across Gluten free cupcakes in the freezer section. This has gotta be hard, but hang in there. You definitely rock!
Wonderful news!
