Although I've been taking a higher dosage of Prednisone than usual, my ulcer has been getting bigger. The dark red edges sting. For an unknown reason my ulcer 'weeps', produces edema fluid in unmanageable amounts. It has happened in the past for a day or so and then stops, all for no reason. Well, its been in 'weep' mode for about a week. When I sit at my computer at home, I do it with my foot on a towel. After a two hours its soaked! This prevents me from going to my office. I'm lucky that I'm able to work from home, but I don't like working from home. I have interns that I'm supposed to be helping out, not an easy thing to do from home. My dermatologist wants to raise my prednisone to a high level again, temporarily, just to heal things up.
