bleh - fricking steroids.

Got about three hours of sleep last night. I'm here to testify to the fact that, yes, late night TV sucks rocks even with satellite.

At least I look like myself in the mirror again.

1. Aw sweetie....

So sorry to hear it.

I went through that a couple of weeks ago. Had to do the IV Solumedrol thing.

Sucks! My legs looked like thighs all the way down! No indentation for my ankles at all! None of my shoes fit-- I had to wear thong sandals everywhere. I could barely walk! AND I looked like a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

And I'm practically narcoleptic, but even I was waking up at 3 in the morning some nights.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

2. the sleep thing really messes with me.

I *never* have trouble going to sleep. I'm down with the "practially narcoleptic" thing myself.

Hope you're doing better! I remember that you posted recently about some health problems - diabetes?

[fudge stripe cookays]

3. I almost WISH it were.

Nope, MS, unfortunately. They're both bad in their own ways.

But I guess with MS I only have to stick myself once every other day. With diabetes, it'd be a couple times a day. You take your blessings where you can!

I'm doing OK. The Betaseron appears to be helping, but I did have some major dizziness yesterday.

4. ms - right.

Sorry about that. Brain cramp. All best to you in dealing with that - I'm not sure how well I would. :hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

5. Thanks!

To you too!

You know what they say...one day at a time!

6. So, if you go off over in GD, can we blame 'roid rage?

:D

8. I was hoping somebody would.

:D

7. Did you watch Letterman?

I understand that my favorite singer/songwriter, Aimee Mann, was scheduled to appear.

[ulysses]

9. nah - CSPAN

I'm an exciting guy.

[redqueen]

15. Did they show the CAFTA vote in the House?

Not that I would've had the stomach to watch, mind.

[ulysses]

20. not at the time.

Of course, I logged onto DU for a while. Why no, I'm not addicted. Why do you ask?

:eyes:

[redqueen]

14. Awwww... I missed it!

:(

[Patiod]

10. Stay cool!

MS + heat = no fun

[ulysses]

11. I had an allergic reaction - fsc has ms

I'm planning to stay cool anyway, though. :)

12. You feel so good on those you don't NEED any sleep

I used to have to take moderate doses of prednisone for a week at a time, and all those little aches and pains I didn't even know I had were long gone. I don't have an addictive personality, but after that I can see how people get hooked.

[ulysses]

17. man, not in my case.

I had to take prednisone as part of my chemo regimen for Hodgkin's lymphoma when I was younger, and in 24 years they still haven't made the shit taste any better.

[redqueen]

13. Yes, most TV sucks, actually.

:hi:

Glad you're feeling better... or, well... at least looking better, anyways.

[ulysses]

18. it IS nice

to not look as if I'm wearing someone else's face. That creeped me out.

[sakabatou]

16. Do you get really hungry and thirsty?

My dog's on steroids and that's what happened to him.

[ulysses]

19. yup.

Some dry mouth, too.
