I'm not diabetic (insofar as I know)

I also noticed that I felt fine during the entire infusion yesterday except for the metallic taste in my mouth, which never got as bad as it was when I had oral pred in 2007 (that stuff is NASTY!)

I did have some munchies and a craving or two last night, but I didnt pounce on the package of Hershey's with Almonds that's in the refrigerator last night, and I didnt go after the piece of chocolate that's been sitting on my desk for the past 3 days like a starving lion going after a wildebeest. It's still there (I'm thinking of saving it for the last day, or the day after I finish the 'roids)

My munchies seemed to be for the box of crackers that I opened yesterday afternoon, and had a handful or two of the crackers (I wanted something crunchy)

When I had oral pred, I helped clean out the freezer and refrigerator. People in undeveloped countries that are starving would have been able to live for years on what I inhaled in food for the week or two that I was on oral pred.

I'm just surprised that it seems like the solumedrol isnt doing that to me.

Altho, I'm going to go upstairs and make myself some breakfast because I havent eaten since about 6 or 7pm last night. (well, I did have a cherry yogurt before I went to bed last night) I have to leave at 11am.

If I drive myself tomorrow (last day) I'm stopping at either BK or McD's for breakfast. I took a cab yesterday and doing the same today. (dad's picking me up tonight and I'm going to get my hair washed when we pick my mom up at the place that she's getting her hair and nails done at this afteroon)

My IV port really hurts and really itches this morning. I might ask them to move it to my hand. I think I turned over and slept on it last night or something. I'm afraid to look under the wrap to see if it did anything icky or bloody.
