Prednisone magnified my anxiety when I was first taking it. If the pred is contributing to your anxiety, that should lessen a bit as you decrease your dosage.

I'm still recovering from my worst flare and on hard days I repeated to myself:

I can do this! Whatever "this" is, and however long it takes.

You can do it too, no matter what "this" encompasses each day. And I envy that you have the support of a husband as you adapt to it all. Welcome to the forum...

Michelle, probiotics are great pretty much what judy said. You do have to take alot to see results as most of have gotten to the point where or intestinal flora is so off balance that eating a yogurt a day or taking 1-2billion CFU's a day is kind of liking peeing on a forest fire. I personally take Super Acidopholis, its a 10billion CFU pill, get it at GNC and i take 4-5 daily or before every meal and one before bed. I have had awsome results from this. I hope you get better! Also you should change your diet to help the probiotics work, basically dont take probiotics then go and drink like a fish and wonder why you dont feel any different.
