Hi, all--

Just a note about prednisone and bone density (whatever). My regular doctor kept wanting me to take one of the bone pills (like Fosamax, I think is the name), but my hematologist has said no, not wanting to add more pills to the mix, I guess. But I do take a multivitamin AND extra calcium daily (I like the chewy calcium "candy"--it comes under a variety of names, like Viactiv, and is sold at most drugstores I think). I understand that prednisone isn't good to the bones, so make sure you get calcium in your diet.

For exercise, I walk my little old dog. I've gone from about a half a block (and wiped out) to about three blocks and feeling good (took a few months though). I had Rituxan treatments, and they seem to have helped a lot.

Thanks to all of you for your information and sharing.
