Flare ups
After being on a Prednisone regimen of 40/0/40 for about six months, I had a flare up. I must have forgotten to take my dosage because the day after my skipped day I could feel that my calf was getting 'thick' with edema. I didn't think much of it until I noticed the multiple hot spots on the back area of my calf. The back of my calf has been totally free of any pyoderma until just recently. All flare ups are preceded by 24+ hrs of edema. I'm currently taking 40mg of prednisone a day, perhaps more if needed, to stamp this nonsense down.
