The side effects....


Today was a VERY good day. Got a lot taken care of in terms of school, work, and getting some financial help through the county so I can see a specialist! :D And tomorrow I reward myself with some sailing... aahhhhh... the whole thing that started this mess... Well... didn't start, really... If I hadn't of gone sailing two weeks ago, I might not have gone to the school clinic.. where I wouldn't of found out about my platelet count... and thus wouldn't have been the wiser to be careful about bumping my head or other body parts.... and then maybe would have done so, and thus MUCH bigger problems would have come up. ...... Like how that works?

Anyhow! The picture is how I'm currently feeling about the Prednisone... Yes, of course it's worth it... my count is up, right?... But oh man oh man.. the side effects are just killing me! I find out tomorrow if I can start tapering the dose. I have a good feeling it'll be the case... the only question is: Once I start to taper, will the platelet count remain up?.... It's the question of the year..... it should win an award.....
