Subject: Woman on a mission

I know I have posted about new plans of action before... but I have never had so many "helper" meds when I have "flare-ups". Now when my throat closes I take nerve medicines that open me up...I take the same med to prevent me from fainting...I take it combination with another nerve medicine to combat that symptom. I am also starting a steroid-sparing medicine (yes, another one lol), plaquenil, so hopefully in a month or so it will help me as I continue to lower the prednisone. Right now I am on 60/50 alternate day *which is AWFUL*...I am dropping to straight 50 on Tuesday...This alternate day stuff does NOT work for me...too stressful on my body! I am getting 2x as many migraines then straight dropping...plus I am 2x as moody, much to the dismay of everyone around me LOL!

I am determined to NOT up my prednisone again...no matter how rough things get...I will tough this out! I can't live like this anymore! I need to get back to ME! I lost her somewhere...I have a feeling the lower I get, the closer I will be to finding her again...

Love and hugs.

Ivy
