Default Hating pred today!
So.........my swelling is officially BACK! Hate it! Hate it! Cushionoid face - awful! Moods swings out the wazoo.......Feet that can't fit into my normal shoes, so flip-flops are my only option......upset stomach.....the works!!!!!

Planning on going to my sister's tonight for dinner with the neighbors, maybe that will perk me up.....hopefully............

Wondering when/if remission will ever kick in............Hate the ups/downs of this disease............

Just feel like crying................


Not a good day today...................................

One word: potassium. I used potassium supplements when I was on high dose pred and it really helped the swelling. A banana or orange juice doesn't cut it....
