        One of the most worrisome are what her dermatologist calls balls of infection just under the skin, she usually has up to 10 all over her body, especially painful on the soles of her feet.  She can tell when they are coming up, they turn red and are very painful. She has a prescription cream she treats them with.   At night she has hip,leg and foot pain where she cannot sleep.  Mornings take about an hour to reach slow movement she can tolerate.  Fatigue is really getting her down mentally.  She is having a problem accepting she must conserve her strength for the most important things and let everything else go.  She did take prednisone for severe facial rash at first, but is not on it now.  I believe the cream does have prednisone.  Thanks for your concern
