I have three days left of the prednisone taper to go. That's one pill each a day for the next three days.

I felt better on like the second or third day of the taper, it's just as soon as it started to taper off, BOOM! Feeling worse again. It really sucks. I still don't have any energy. I want to take a shower, but I'm half tempted not to because I feel like I'm going to fall down.

still taking the b12, since it didn't seem to have hurt anything, and I didn't feel as physically sick after I started taking the b12.

I'm not that big a fan of taking the prednisone on an extended basis, because of all the funky things the prednisone can do to a person. I'm just feeling bad enough that I'm starting to wonder if a larger taper that lasts a bit longer might break whatever this flare is and allow me to build up some strength. I feel like my legs have been weak for months, and getting weaker.

I can feel where most of the problem is coming from. It's the middle of my low back. Probably around T12 (I know I have a lesion there)

just really really tired of feeling sick all the freaking time. And I can't exactly whine about it to the normal people around me, because that annoys them for some reason.
