Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi all, I took your advice Bruce and called the pain clinic today. I started vomiting today on top of the headache and the back pain is excruciating. I was in tears when I called the office. The doc had gone home sick today and the nurse practitioner called me and told me to lie flat on my back the rest of the day, and go into a dark room, increase caffeine intake (Mountain Dew) and push clear liquids. I am just now getting off work and I talked to them 2 hours ago, so I am going to take a shower and go to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Hey, good thing is I have lost 5 pounds this week!! I didn't want to lose it like this, though. I was 158 in February, which was a 30 pound exactly weight gain since I started the prednisone a year ago. Today, I was 142, so that is a pretty big drop!! I am SOOO close to being back in the 130s again!! Will be glad when I get through this recoup time, so I can start back walking again. I really miss it. Guess the bed is calling me. UUGGHHH!! Flat on my back for the rest of the night. This sucks!! Hope you all have a great night!! Caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
