5.3 this morning. Had a Dexa scan this morning to see if these old bones are standing up to the tests of time and prednisolone.

seems I am now several inches shorter than a few years ago.

I have lost inches in height, and gained them in width, too. Never thought about it being the steroids’ fault.
Keep om keeping on, @JohnEGreen . Hope you feel better, soon.
