Seriously!! I'm in about week 5....and the nausea and vomiting has been INSANE. I take the pill around 5p or 5:30p and by 7p I am lying in bed (or like last night for an hour, on my bathroom floor) wanting to vomit up my insides. I don't know what is worse though....minutes of nausea and vomiting for hours, or minutes of vomiting and nausea for hours. Either way, I hate it. I get so sleepy and sick. I called my GI today and let them know not only those side effects, but also about my rash on my stomach. It looks like little red pin pricks. We'll see what they say...even though it's almost 5p and they haven't returned my call. Oh well.

Andrew comes home in less than 3 weeks!! December 21st I am so so excited and happy. After our last blow up I have decided to keep "crazy/possessive/jealous/mood swingy" Mel inside and keep my opinions to myself. I won't lash out at him for little things and unless it greatly impacts me or our relationship, I will let it slide. I still plan on sticking up for myself when he insults me or my disease...more than once he has told me he thinks I embellish it to gain attention. Well whatever. He's been gone. When he comes home he can see what I am really going through.

What else is new?? Not much. Still trying to get rid of the Thrush/yeast in my mouth. The Nystatin hasn't been helping yet. Hopefully soon!! Well that's all I have to update on! Oh, still on prednisone...down to 40mg and tapering every 7 days. Slowly but surely I am getting off it!!
