Positive Note.

I had my first follow-up appt today. Evidently everything I am experiencing is quite normal. OH GREAT! haha. It doesn't last forever so I can do this thing. I got some Loratabs for my back. I didn't want another pill but it helps to be able to move your body. My back spasms made my blood pressure and heart rate go up by 10 points each. On the plus side I lost  1 1/2 lbs and was pretty much given Carte Blanche to eat whatever I want. O.K. well I am exaggerating on the last part but once in a while you have to cheat a bit. I have been very lucky in the fact that "Junk" food is not my friend right now. That is a plus simply because I am taking Steroids that make me want to eat constantly. At least I am eating semi-healthy. The Steroids are also putting me through Menopause, oh joy, I needed Hot flashes on top of all of this other nonsense. I took some Ibuprofen 800 and it saved me from shooting myself in the foot. I have never experienced any kind of back pain like that in my life. It was worse than giving birth to an 8 lb baby with no Epidural (and I am not kidding). I now know the decibel that my "deaf" cat can hear. I was screaming at one point and she actually looked at me like I was nuts. I am guessing I was a bit loud. Much better tonight. I feel like I might be oon the upswing. Let's Hope anyway.
