      I am a clinical researcher, 40-year old single woman. Finding that spirituality is answering most of my questions. I balance my day with work, mystery shows/books with spiritual meditation/introspection or reading/listening.

      Hi I am Katie's Mom. I think your spirit is great! I love the buffalo hump comment. I have found when you can see the humor in a situation you are ahead of the game.Keep your spirit lady, it's the only thing that matters in life..... besides love.

    • Close Pemphigus

      Recently diagnosed (June 2007) with Pemphigus. Very painful beginnings. Now (thankfully) being treated with cytoxan and prednisone. Struggling a lot with prednisone side effects. Found the International Foundation of Pemphigus and Pemphigoid very early during my illness that saved me. I am tapering on prednisone right now. Keeping my fingers crossed that I move to remission (I can dream, can' I)? This illness has made me reach out to spirituality more strongly than ever.

      Treatments

      Clobetasol Working / Worked
      topically on wounds. helped a lot. No side effects.
      Cyclophosphamide Working / Worked
      Worked but with many side effects. Several sec infections, brought menopausal symptoms, anemia, fatigue, hair loss (wear a wig)...etc.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Started at 80 mg a day. Now on 30/15 alternate days tapering. So many side effects but the worst one is prednisone-induced diabetes. Hot flashes, moon face, obesity, buffalo hump, mood swings, back pain, etc.
