I have felt bad on that prednisone for so long now that I have developed some very poor habits that I should be ashamed of but for some reason am not. I was just too darn sick to care and I guess if I'm caring, that must mean I'm improving. I know how I should eat, just haven't been nor have I been able to. I think the Nexium is helping and the reduction (prednisone)...

Why can't family understand that when you have chronic illnesses and chronic pain that you can't work! I have one of those famlies that think your a piece of shit if you don't have some kind of job and are bringing in some money from it. It doesn't matter that i am going to college right now and getting Finacial aid to help. It doesn't matter that even though I wouldn't be...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

I just got back from the long drive to Duke and while I'm very exhausted, I'm also a little elated. My sister ended up driving with mom, but I'll get to that in a minute. I get to start tapering the evil prednisone, yes!!!! Doc says that I'm just one of those people that feel worse on prednisone and will be an easier patient for them to get off of it.

we were the only house that had there outside light on, most people are out at parties or something like that,so he only got 4 kids and that was it. part of the fact that we live up on a hill, and most parents would take their kids down below so that they can just walk around, without much driving. But I like Halloween like I like most holidays. We did have a little fair which they have eve...1 Recommendation -

Raynaud's Disease Information
Raynaud's disease (RAY-noz) is a condition that affects blood flow to the extremities which include the fingers, toes, nose and ears when exposed to temperature changes or stress. It was named after Maurice Raynaud (1834 - 1881), a French physician who first described it in 1862. The symptoms include several cyclic color changes:
- When exposed to cold temperatures, the oxygen supply to the fingertips, toes, and earlobes of Raynaud's disease patients are reduced and the skin color turn pale or white (called pallor) and become cold and numb.
- When the oxygen supply is depleted, the skin colour turns blue (called cyanosis).
- These events are episodic and when the episode subsides, or the area is warmed, blood returns to the area and the skin colour turns red (rubor) and then back to normal, often accompanied by swelling and tingling. These symptoms are thought to be due to reactive hyperemias of the areas deprived of blood flow.
All three colour changes are present in classic Raynaud's disease. However, some patients do not see all of the colour changes in all outbreaks of this condition.
Flat nails are also associated with Raynaud's disease.
