Relapsed

[BWR1953]

Spent 7+ hours in the ER yesterday.

My GCA came back.

And I'm back on the steroids.

Ugh. :blue:

Wish you all the luck in the world,get better.

Sorry to hear that. Do take care and take the meds to help control it. Keep a positive attitude as well. It amazingly does help.

Praying for you ... hang in there, BW!

 

[BWR1953]

Thanks for the support, guys. It does help! :joyous:

Been 4 days since my ER visit and restarting the steroids. Am feeling better.

But I know how deceptive the steroids are. Make you feel as strong as King Kong at first while insidiously giving you high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, muscle atrophy and so on. The weight gain is something to fight. I packed on 40 pounds last time. And it gets redistributed into a "buffalo hump" on the back and a "moon" or "football" shaped face. Ugh. Not to mention the hair loss and other stuff.

Ugh.

However! I shall endeavor to persevere! :lol:

Hang in BW - adjusting to the fight your body needs to wage is really tough.
