Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 Oh, you are so lucky not to have to do laundry!! I do pretty good at keeping up with that, but ironing is a totally different story. Good to hear from you. How are things going in your life? Are you still getting the pred. down? I have tried cutting back, but it's really hard. Think I will wait till the metho is doing it's job better before I try to cut back anymore. When ever I cut back on the pred I get these purple blotches on my hands and arms. I thought that was caused from taking the pred. You'd think I wouldn't get them cutting back on the stuff. Hot here this afternoon. I tried doing some more weeding but will have to wait till it's cool, maybe this evening. My cats had me up at 2:30 this AM so to me it feels like bedtime now.

Then my ear flared, inside and out and I was wheezing and coughing and my throat got hoarse...so I went back to 4mg per day, which is not too bad. The symptoms got a lot milder. I synmpathize about the cats - I was out with the girls until about three am, then of course the dogs still need to go and pee at 6.00 am!! Still, we all went back to sleep again!! You take care, lots of love, Liz > > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
