Why is it that when you take steroids, it takes forever to normalize after.  It's been a week and 2 days and dealing with hot flashes and weight issues.   I can't wait for normal.  We dealt with ordinary, now I want normalcy.
Anyway, went to another doctor's appointment today and then to work.  That makes 4 appointments this week.  I am looking forward to the day when I see a doctor maybe once or twice a year.
My hubby and I are going to try an experiment.  We read an article by a doctor that was plagued by a plethera of problems and he stumble across an article written by another doctor who was touting the effects of phenylkenoturics ( I am absolutely certain I did not spell that right) other wise known as aspartame.  Anyway this doctor had been going on a health kick and drinking lots of diet sodas and light yogurts and etc when he start getting really fatigued, joint aches and pain, blurry vision in one eye and etc.... He went years without a diagnosis and when he stumbled across this article he decided to do an experiment.  He cut out all the artificial sweetners out of his life and after a few months most of his symptoms resolved.  Then to prove it was not coincidence, he incorporated the sweetners back in and lo and behold his symptoms came back.  Since then he no longer encourages the use of artificial sweetners to his patients and he writes that his health is almost back to 100%.  So we are going to kick those sweetners to the curb and see if we can get the same results.
So wish us luck and will power!!!!!!!!!
In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
