haven't been around much lately

September 11, 2006

I haven't been able to keep up with my emails for a while, just wanted to

stop by and hi and hope everyone is doing better.

Once again, as soon as I started feeling better, my rheumy decided it was

time to adjust my meds. We're trying to wean me off the prednisone, but

every reduction means a few weeks of feeling bad until my body gets

adjusted. This time, he also took me off my Trazadone and lowered my

Celexa. My eyes were dry enough that he worried about a corneal abrasion,

and felt that it might be those meds causing it. My eyes are much better,

but I just had my first good nights sleep in over a month! I was taking the

Trazadone for a sleep aid and for pain. This is also the first day I have

felt like doing anything normal. I've been very tired, achy, and depressed

- the fibro has taken over. Well, apathetic and listless, not caring much

about anything. And enveloped in the fibro fog!

This is the one group I feel like I can explain my absence to, and be

understood. thanks for being here, for all the support.

Gentle hugs,

South Pasadena, CA
