Re: You answered all my questions re: Medrol question

[Guest guest]

Hi Sohelia, After I read this post, I realize why you want to go on such a drug.

Did Dr. Whitman prescribe this? I am very surprised he would. He must feel

like he is against the wall. I really believe that your state of sadness is

what is interfering with your healing. I think you must get serious about

reversing that and ease up a bit on yourself. You never speak of things you

like to do. What are your hobbies, pleasures, and things you'd like to do in

the future? Or now? Do you have friends? Get together regularly? How about

listening to music, painting, sketching, photographing. Reading, Going to a

gym, Seeing a play! Taking a long walk in Central Park weather permitting..

Renting comedy movies and watching them at home. You need to make an effort to

reverse the sadness. I think that is # 1, Try it. Think of it as therapeutic

enjoyment.~~~~~Love, Dodo

As you know my Dr. prscribed Medrol 2 mg 4 days a week

to lower my inflammation. my ESR is high 120.

I thought it is not a bad idea because i read high

inflammtion doesn't allow minocin to penetrate cells.

anyway last nightI took my first medrol and I got up

with less pain and less stiffness. My hands are no

puffy right now. wow I didn't know a low dose of

steroid can make a big difference. I don't like to

take steroid because of side effects. my Dr. also

doesn't like it. I am going to take it only 3 days a

week. I hope it helps me to put on some weight.

what do you think?

By the way you do lots of work. I couldn't do such

amonth of work even when I was healthy. like you I

always followed a healthy diet, did excersize. no

smoking and drinking but I was not a happy person.

I didn't realize the most important thing is my

health.

enjoy the weekend

It's ok to feel sad, it's one of the many emotions all animals feel

sometimes. Those with chronic diseases surely have earned the right

to intensely feel a range of emotions.

My emotions have been like a roller coaster ever since I became

sick. My husband has been so good about accepting and supporting me

during my lows. By now he knows it doesn't take long before the

highs are back again anyway.

Peace,

Vegan

I read Sohelia's story and I am sorry she feels so down, yes one must work on

being happy. I have a great support group of friends that help me when I need

it, sometimes it helps if you can talk to someone and unload, even if it is an

e-mail.

I sing in a German choir here in Houston, TX, go to another one once a month

in Austin, TX and meet with many German singers throughout the year.

Members of my church are great and I belong to a Prayer Shawl group. We knit

and crochet for shut-ins, sick people and anyone that's needs lifting up their

spirit.

With a decease like we all have we need a good support group to stay positive.

Sohelia, if you need to talk , you can send me always an e-mail and I will

listen to you and maybe help just talking with you.

Take care,

Eva

To me, this sounds like blaming the person with the illness, shaming

them for 'choosing' the 'bad' feeling. We get too much of that from

others who don't truly understand, or who are uncomfortable allowing

others space and rights to be who they truly are, to feel how they

truly feel.

It's ok to be sad. To feel sad, happy, mad, etc. is to be fully

human. True supporters accept your feelings, all your feelings.

They listen and try to understand.

Your intentions are obviously pure. I just want people to know this

is a space where they are truly accepted as they are.
