I need some tough love right now. - Just Venting. Nothing to do with SCD.

[Guest guest]

I'm on Prednisone... which i'm going to start weening off of because the side effects are not worth whatever it's helping with. I'm having alot of depression, mood swings, and mental breakdowns. Never had these side effects with Prednisone before, but maybe antibiotics change that too. I took Antibiotics for 3 days, and now i'm going to be in the worst flare ever for 3 months if this continues for 30 more days. I've gone back to into/stage 1 foods, and I can't tell what's effecting me and what's not. I was eating only meat for 3 days at one point, but I can't keep doing that. I already lost 20 pounds in less than 2 months, which isn't healthy. MY body needs energy to heal, but I don't know what it wants to have that it won't react with. Right now I huess it's reacting with everything!I've been really thinking of living for today and not for tomorrow..... like going off SCD and eating whatever, getting drunk, passing out, and doing it all again the next day. I'll go on the Imuran my doc wanted me on and things will be all better.... I won't have to cook everyday when I get home because I drive 2 hours to work and back so I don't have any time to do anything else. I wouldn't have lost the person I thought was my other half because of how stressfull this disease and this diet can be, and I would have been able to eat all the peanut butter easter eggs I wanted to last year, and do it again this year.Then I remember i'm on Prednisone, and it's freaking me out in the head! Maybe it's the Asacol.... considering the side effects of it are exactly what it's supposed to be treating? Now does that make any sense?-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 8 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 12 pills a day Prednisone 40mg entocort With vit E mixed inBack to intro/stage 1 for now.
