Yeah, I no longer feel like this when I stand up now!
Oh we would have been a GREAT pair together if we'd been on it at the same time and out somewhere. Add that to my forgetting to eat, which makes my blood sugar dip, and

I used to drink about a 2 litre bottle of water during an 8 hour work day because I had cotton mouth so badly from the Elavil. Believe me, I urinated much more often because of all the liquid. You could say my bladder wasn't emptying fully--each time I gave it a little more space, more went INTO it! But maybe Erin's experience is different.

YOU TOO??

I forgot about this! In fact, there were a couple days I ate once while on La Evil, because I flat out FORGOT to eat! I had no appetite at all, and when you're eating extremely low fat to begin with, missing meals like that is not a good thing!

Actually, I forget to eat routinely but it was worse on the Elavil.

And I get like that on roids too. I'm strange and have a weird experience on IVSM--I get really fatigued and lose my appetite. I think that I lost 10 lbs the last time I was on roids. Ok, maybe that's NOT such a great weight loss strategy but.... well....it works for me.

I'm not going to lie, I eat and eat and EAT on IVSM, or prednisone taper off.

I'm a little piggie, and I can't sleep on steroids either. Oh, and I can clean my house 10 times a day as well LOL!
