I'd kill for a strawberry pop-tart with pink icing! But, it's one of the nutrition bombs I did give up.

I'm concerned about him getting weaker. Has his Prednisone taper been addressed? This could be the cause of the weakness if it's going too fast. I'm sure you both want the Prednisone to end, but it does have its place for those who can tolorate it. I'll be the first to agree that it smells, tastes like ***** if it gets stuck on your tongue, makes you fat and bitchy, etc. If he still has insurance you might look into a course if IVIG. I have no experience with IVIG, but many here rely on it. In retrospect I probably should have tried IVIG during a flair-up rather than to have taken all of the pred for all these years. I'm now trying to cope with the long term side effects (not to scare you).

About you: Are you physically able to leave the house? If so, have a buddy of his come over and watch a game with him while you have a "girl's night out." Here's a link about caregivers from Quest magazine:
