I'm planning on telling the dr about it today. I had to cut back on the meds because my pharmacy didn't have it, so I figured taking some was better than none. I just placed an order for a refill and have yet to hear whether they can fill it or not.

From what I have read prednisone can sometimes make you sterile if you use it for long period of time. Just talk to your doctor about it if you have reserves on it because you don't want to go change the dose of your meds on your own it can be more harm to your body if the doctor is not aware of what you are doing.

Thanks! I was curious because I have decreased the amount of plaquenil I am taking and now my total protein has increased slightly above normal levels.
