I am not sure what is going on....and Why, but....for the past couple days, I noticed that my Sarky Symptoms are coming on stronger than normal with the Pred.
This morning I woke up with extreme pain in my Hips, Spine, Up & Down my legs....and few other spots I can't remember, but I know that it was there.....ANDDD, I feel like crap!!!
I am sooo weak, and sore all over...I feel like I did a ton of exercises the day before.....and I hadn't done Anything.
I refrained from taking any Pain Pills.....don't have much left and what I do have, I may need for a more severe case of the Sarky's.
It really seems like the Pred. is wearing off on me...ALL Day Long I was feeling like this, CRAPPY....but I was trying to hold it together because I had to care for the Grands.
I am praying that tomm. proves to be a better day.....I really felt like staying in the bed all day today.
I am starting to get really worried Now.....because if NO ONE can come up with a Plan to rid me of these symptoms so that I can function day-to-day....What will become of Me.
I won't be able to care for the Grands....Or anyone else for that matter, even Myself....I will literally be Bedridden....and I'm not joking.
I called and made an appt. with a Pulmonologist....and that is set for July 6th (GOD Willing), I tried to get it for a sooner date....but wasn't able to get a slot for the early morn.....Oh Well, it is only two weeks away.
I had called my PCP to see if he can take me off the Pred.....just so "I" can see what will happen, but he suggested that I stay on it until I see the Pulmy. doctor.
Ooohhh, I dread to find out how the next few days are going to be like......

They dont prescribe you enough pain pills for the month?!?!?!? thats crazy!
My previous doctor DID....before I came up in his office one day without being on ANY Pain Meds....I did that on purpose to show him how I ACTUALLY AM without the Meds....you know, so it can be documented....well the Man thought the discomfort that I was having was due to the Med....He THOUGHT I was addicted to the Medicine and those symptoms that I was having was from the Vicodine....!!!
Fool that he was, I tried to tell him that THESE SYMPTOMS have been present from Day One...back in 1993, when I wasn't on ANY MEDS....but he didn't want to hear me out OR believe me, sooo......he got fired!!!
But before I Fired Him...he decreased my Meds....and I was forced to use Double the Dose to Rid myself of the Pain & Discomfort.....aauugghh.
Anywho....to show you that I am NOT AN ADDICT OF ANY KIND....I was off of the Vicodine for a Whole Month....now, I know One Thing...if I was ADDICTED to the Vicodine, I would have tried to sell my child for Some, wouldn't I.....!!!!
So, I am on the Prednisone....and that takes away the Sarky Symptoms 75%....there is still the 25% that still puts me down most days.
Hopefully, the Pulmo. doctor will shed some light......
