again, frustrated....

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Sorry to use this as a venting board, but my pain is way back up,

after dropping to 35 mgs. of pred. last week and 30 today, so I

called my Rheumatologist and we are upping the pred. back to 40 and

starting Methotrexate. I've been having really bad night sweats, but

they continued into day sweats today. I've been leaving wet

handmarks on everything I touch YUCK!! Plus, I have been trembling

for two days, even after I eat. I don't know what that's about, but

it's irritating and a little embarrasing when I'm dringing something

in front of someone.

I know I haven't seen anything yet, as far as the long haul, but I

really expected to keep on feeling better. I'm usually not a whiner,

but this is proving to be challenging, emotionally. I am not too

down, just trying to sort out a place to deal with everything.

Thank you all for being here and part of this place that I can go

to. It helps to know that all of you are here, even when I feel

whiney.
