Girlie, I can totally relate to what you are going through. I just went through the same emotional crap. You feel so good for so long, think all is going well and life will get back to normal then BAM! you're hit with an exacerbation and your down for a bit.

I am glad that you will be starting the steroids and hope it goes well. If you can find away to work a bit from home that would be great. It certainly would help with the work related stress levels as you can stay somewhat caught up and won't get slammed when you get back to the office.

Let us know how you are doing.

I hope the steroids help.....they can be rough on the tummy so make sure to take them with food. And a few Tums wouldn't hurt, either!!

You're taking an active role in your healthcare - that's great! Giving in would be "giving up" to this disease and nobody wants to do that!! Be gentle with yourself - we tend to beat up on ourselves the hardest and with the least need.

You're doing the right thing. Good luck!!

Default Hi Girl,
I can't take steroids due to eye complications, so don't know what that is like. But I like the idea of by taking them you are being proactive! There are so many smart folks here at NT. Ya gotta love 'em!

I just sent a prayer up to the big guy for you! Let us know how things are working for you. I hope the union will work with you to work out of home for a while... that would be ideal, as long as you could get the rest you need at the same time.

TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!!
~A FRIEND

Hey Girlie Girl.... I am glad you are finally getting some help, you have been suffering long enough but I have already told you that.

Vent away.... I have been doing it for weeks!

Everyone has given you good advice. The only thing I have is to wish you well and applaud you for being proactive and TAKE something for your stomach!

Let us know how it goes!!
