i love the days where im feeling great, well what our great is lol, and im getting lots done and feeling like a normal person (that was yesterday), and then the next day i totally pay for it... my back hurts, my ankles feel sprained, i have a slight headache and im soooo tired. then i just get a bit depressed cuz i realize that im not normal. i just wanna be normal like i use to be :( and how am i ever suppose to be inshape and lose weight like this... yep its definately a down day.
Now that I'm no longer taking the prednisone, I'm back to my old tired, hurting, and swollen self. I guess just be thankful you do have an occasional good day. You know you'll have to pay for it the next day or two, but you can feel sort of normal on those days.
And I've been depressed, too. That sort of goes with the territory for me. When I'm depressed, all I want to do is treat myself, and it's not with celery and radishes....lol!
Take care and know you're not alone.
I even got my hair cut, which only happens about once or twice a year, (and I have to wash it at home and arrive with wet hair, because it's too painful to lay my head back in the sink basin).
I treated myself to Fast Food (rare occasion), and stayed up till midnight to watch two complete movies on cable t.v.
That's what I call a good day!!
However, today, I can't even motivate to take a shower. I have a horrible headache, and I decided to just go back to bed after sitting on the couch for a few hours.
I have an appointment with the best rhuemy in my area (in 3 weeks), and I hope she can help me!!!
Wishing everyone gentle hugs this new year!
