Not much to say today.  Just an average day.  Still on the steroids.  They are treating me a little different this time because I have such a bad reaction to the high dose of steroids.  Usual treatment is 1000mg of Solumedrol or Prednisone a day for 3 days which in comparison to the 5mg your body produces is horrific.  This time they put me on a smaller dose for 2 weeks.  I always get sick when they don't wean me off so I do it myself otherwise it will be another trip to the ER and the good Lord knows I hate going to the hospital.
