Calling ERIN--PRED.

Post by barbaranoela »

While on the Pred.--being *jazzed-up ( I like that Xpression) and zooming around I have to say the only other problem was feeling like an over heater boiler----but of couse I gather *summertime* didnt help either--

I know I added this before --WALK---each day--if U can --if weather permits---thats what my GP's must do--instructions----
The walking was to keep the legs functioning and other issues which I forget--something to the effect of keeping your *vital-inners* AWAKE--cus the Pred. sorta puts everything to *sleep*---the term used to describe it to me--

U can do it~~~~~~trust me---cus U are listening to *scarey Mary* :smile: so if I got thru it U can and WILL too---OK :thumbsup:

Hang in--

Thanks Barb,
I liked his term of 'jazzed up' too. He is kind of a funny guy. I am noticing a difference already. The pain in my stomach is less and the bowel movements are slowing down some which is nice.
Last night i did the treadmill for 20 minutes of walking. I haven't done anything in 8 months so i am starting off slow (lucky for me hubby is a personal trainer so i can get advice from him!) and i am going to make sure i keep that up every night at least. My joints hurt afterwards but not too bad.
I noticed last night in bed i was *hot*. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago and i wondered if it may be part of it too.
I agree, i am looking at all the '*bad* things about prednisone instead of seeing the positives! Thank you for keeping me on track and i know with the support of friends, family and my board family (if you will keep me even though its not MC :sad: ) i can do this!

Hi Erin

Good to see you sounding happier today :smile: It is so easy to see the negative side when you have been ill for so long, something I think I did myself now I am looking towards getting better and starting to laugh once more. I am sure we are all thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery :bouqueofpinkroses:
