Upped my pred

[Guest guest]

I went up to 60 mg of pred today, stayed with 40 yesterday. My ear was

killing me when I woke up this morning. The swelling has started up again,

but nowhere near as bad as the first time. I feel so totally wiped out. I

have been sweating bullets. My legs feel like jello. The big thing of the

day was cooking dinner, only because I wanted turkey so I made a turkey

breast. It took every bit of energy I had. We had some flooding in our

crawl space so my husband had to deal with that, although if I would have

asked he would have helped. I feel so guilty just sitting around, although

I am getting a counted cross stitch project done. I have to use a lighted

magnifying glass to do it, but I can't just sit and do nothing.

Does anyone have any bladder problems related to this. I had bladder

surgery a year ago, my bladder was put in a sling to hold it up & have been

doing okay. But it seems like I'm having a problem getting to the bathroom

& I have to go a lot.

This sure is a learning experience. I figured since I was feeling better,

it was going away. Surprise, surprise. I just tell myself tomorrow will be

better. I think the inside of my ear is pretty swelled because the

medication doesn't go down real well in the right ear. Went through a whole

bottle of the drops since Weds. night. 40 drops a day goes real fast. 10

each ear twice a day.

That's my latest.
