Holy crap, I had forgotten what the solumedrol crash felt like. It's been about 3 years or so since I've been through this. I don't know what it feels like to die, but damn it can't be much worse than this. I can't stay out of bed for more than 20 minutes at a time, and god knows what we're going to eat for dinner tonight, or what Greg will eat for lunch tomorrow. I guess we'll muddle through somehow. My head is so fuzzy, my whole body aches, and what don't hurt don't work. I'm trying to keep my sense of humor, but damn it's hard. I know I'll be ok in a couple of days, so don't y'all worry 'bout me, I love you all and will write more when I can. Take care,Deb.

Thank you for you kind words Diane. :-) I have done 3 days of the SoluMedrol twice within the past 4 weeks, the first time with a prednisone taper, which made it not quite as bad. My neuro didn\'t want to do the taper this time, whether he was right or not, I don\'t know, but I\'m not anxious to do this again anytime soon. I am feeling quite a bit better today, at least I feel like I can stay out of bed for more than 20 minutes at a time.
I haven\'t been that good of a friend to anyone on here lately, and I apologize for that, but hopefully with all this crap behind me now I can do better. Take care of yourself, and we\'ll talk soon. :-)
