Default On the first day of Christmas my neuro gave to me....
Prednisone in a pear tree....

I thought doing oral steroids would have less of an impact on me than IVSM, boy was I wrong. A few hours after taking my first dose today I was crying at my desk and ready to throw my stapler at the next person who talked to me. Now I just want some chocolate... a vat of it.

I'm just venting... that way I won't explode. Thank God for this site and all of you wonderful, understanding people.

That's one of the reasons why I hate oral pred! I hope you get better soon!

Too bad someone hasn't invented a chocolate version of this med! They'd be a millionaire!

You guys are awesome! I logged on this morning and smiled.

I love that you have added to the song! Maybe we could get all 12 days.

I didn't notice any weird taste yesterday, like with IVSM, but since I've lost some of my ability to taste with this relapse, I can't be positive. I was able to sleep last night which I could never do on IVSM, so that is a good thing. Of course I chugged Nyquil before I went to bed, so that could have something to do with it!
