YUCK! Last night I felt my body starting to blot.... woke up this morning with heartburn and can't find any Tums or Rolaids in the place! Feel like I have gained 100 pounds in one night - I guess I could blame some of it on the heat (90 degrees yesterday) but I am thinking more Roids instead!

I have never had this trouble with them before - just feel yucky!

Can you stomach some hot tea with milk and too much honey?

Hang in there, Char, the liquid will leave and the bloating will subside. Your orders to rest are still in place and they don't yield to our desires to do other stuff, even on holiday weekends! Remember, we talked about the false sense of energy and the inevitable crash and burn??????

The roids will take another week or so to do their thing and I strongly urge you to put anything and everything you possibly can on hold for now.

It sucks, I know, but please believe me when I tell you that months and months of it feels a lot worse!

I will try the tea and honey and milk - coffee was not the taste I wanted this morning - as you know AMN to much going on and I don't need this added crap right now - but I will be ok. Heading out to a job interview - wish me luck - luck to keep a smile on my face and answer the questions correctly!

Good luck today Char!!!! feel better

I hope today is better little lambchop. The steroids aren't fun for me either and I was like a revved up engine when on them. Poor DH was in misery, lol. (Picture a raging Wiz going 100 mph... )

I agree with AMN, you should rest until you feel better. I'm sorry about the tummy problems. Can you get some Pepcid AC generic? That worked well for me when I was taking them.

Feel better little Yabbit. And good luck on the job interview!

I hope you get to feeling better. I always hate the steroids because it kills my stomach, makes me have a rash and poofy . But on the other hand it helps with my optic neuritus when it acts up.Hugs and hope you get to feeling better and rest because I have learned with this nasty disease if you don' t listen to your body it will eventually just crash and say enough.

as many times as I have done these Roids you would think I would remember! Belly seems to be a little better tonight - I am trying to eat a little dinner right now.

What RW - no alcohol? Maybe that was my problem this morning???

Interview went good I think - will know more next week!
