          I'm sorry, Amy … I did send an email yesterday before I saw this post. Have not been on here much at all lately. I thought I had written an update after my headache finally resolved, but when I looked for it, I discovered I had never written it.!!   Ooops :/   . I just wrote a summary of what has transpired since the 3rd ipi up to now. Tapering down to the 30mg of pred today and expecting news on the thyroid levels sometime today. I am still feeling very well. The only side effects have been the itching ( nothing like while on the Zel initially), ringing ears, night sweats and the headache.Oh, and a brief day of diarrhea just before starting the pred. The prednisone has resolved the headache and the itching, as well. Night sweats come and go, pretty sure that is just thyroid related. I have not felt fatigued, and I am sure the high doses of prednisone see to that! 

          Posted that update today and I will try to do better! We had an influx of activity here at home and my days have been flying by in a bluster of blissful busyness.Each one I am SO grateful for.
