Another Round of Steroids
 

Come last Thursday I felt myself fading fast.... Today I am at work but it is the first day I have been out of bed since Friday night. I called the neuro yesterday afternoon and they called back this morning. He has set me up for 3 days of IV Steroids and then 10 days of oral. I will start the three days tomorrow. I am seeing a pattern come my last week of classes (classes last 8 weeks) I am getting sick. I think for this summer I am going to cut back to one class instead of two.

I am heading out to class now - no rest until Thursday at 3:00. Please say a little prayer I get through the next couple of days. I can't understand why I am in so much pain, numbness, spasms and everything else is there is nothing wrong with me?

Thanks for listening.... :hug:

Thanks for the update, little lambchop, were you reading my brain between the lesions? I was just wondering if you're okay and now I know that this junk is kicking your little butt again.:mad::(

At least the doc is treating your nothingitis this time, but, sweetie, you do need to rest. I know it's never a good time to do this, but please give yourself a chance to kick this one.

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you (except maybe an express hand-delivery of Chambord).;):hug::hug::hug:

Poor little lambchop!!! :( :hug: I had problems while in school too. My pain and stiffness got very bad. Near the end of the degree I started taking two classes at a time alternating with taking six weeks off (ours were six wks long.) That worked out well for me. I'm glad you're cutting your work load down. It should help you sweetie.

Sorry to hear you are doing the steroids again. I hope you feel better soon. The stress of night school is what finally led to my dx. Cutting back your classes is a good start. Now rest, rest, rest.

Healing :hug:'s

sorryto hear you aren't doing so hot. Sending a giant e-aspirin your way. Feel better or at least not worse while on 'roids.

I was just thinking of you this morning and wondering how you were. I'm sorry you're having problems. AMN is right, though (good grief....did I just say that??! :rolleyes:) you do need to rest and give your body a chance to rebound. I think it's a good idea to cut back on your school schedule. I hope you feel better soon......wish I was closer so I could actually do something to help instead of just sending thoughts and prayers.

ouch!! so sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly but glad to know they are treating you for it. Hope the steroids help and that your pain diminishes. :hug:

Awwwwwww, Yabbit..:( Feel better soon, please..:hug:

Gosh.. I know how you feel. I'll be doing that in the Fall. I was supposed to take summer classes but cancelled both since I knew my body was barely making it. 1 more year of school!! (+grad assistantship + internship in a Hosp + my 3 lil monsters). I really do hope you get some rest and give your body a chance to relax.. with school and work and everything, you're amazing but definitely cut yourself slack if you need it!!
