I was prescribed high doses of prednisone to tread Graph vs. Host disease (
GVHD)
and as a result have had to endure complete joint replacements. Right knee and left hip have been replaced, the other two are in the planning. I've been on pain medication for about 8 yrs. for one reason or another. I've been prescribed; Dilaudid, Methadone, Oxycodone, MsContin, Fentanyl and have weaned off, and back on, about 4 times in the course of 8 yrs.
