Hello, Connie..and thank you for your support..I appreciate it all...Im now realizing how badly I NEED to be here.

Im sorry you are feeling the effects of that darned prednisone.  Ive been on it for severe lung infections with my asthma and I KNOW how it can be.  It has PHYSICAL effects as wellas EMOTIONAL effects.. I called my doc one day in tears, telling him that I felt like I was walking on the edge of a razor blade and was terrifed of falling.  He got me off that stuff immediately (weaning me off in two days) *hugs you because I understand all too well*

Namcy...you have no idea how good it was to read this post from you. I thought I was losing my mind....so strung out and moody...can't focus...oh my!!
Not to mention the physical effects......aaarrrgggg!
My doctor isn't in until tomorrow. I will hear from them then. I only have to take 1/2 a tablet for the next three days and then I am done....all weaned off!

It is the reflux I have now that concerns me. 

Thanks again for the wonderful support!!

Hugs to you and Rufus too!!!!!!!   connie d

oh Connie..Prednisone has some nasty effects...physically, you can get a round face and a barrel chest if on it too long and the psychological effects, yes, a sense of anxiety and loss of control. My lung infections caused me to be on it for weeks ata  time, thnakfully not so long that I got the physical stuff.  Theres a reason why we have to be weaned off the stuff.  Its great when you NEED it but not to be taken lightly *hugs*

Nancy...yes....my face is where I notice it first. I feel like I am puffy all over....skin feels taunt.
It helps with the breathing/lungs but are the side effects really worth it...I am not so sure.

Hugs back at you sweetie.....connie d

*hugs* thank you, sweety!  Yup..thought Id surprise you all ...er..y'all!  Please do come and thump my hubby.  He is a good man but boy, so,metimes, he needs a real reality check as far as his wife (ole' me) is concerned.  I've probably talked too much all these 39 years and he just turns me off...lol.

Positive thinking for me from now on! *hugs*  Sorry I didnt get to Texas for the RedHead's big birthday party..what a disappointment for me.

Good Morning!

I'm sitting here with my first cup of coffee, catching up.  I've done my farm chores for the morning (FarmVille is a new and all-encompassing addiction...), and will soon throw on some clothes, get the paper and mail, and sit on the deck to read for a bit.  I'm slowly getting used to the schedule where I leave for work at 2:30 pm.  Will hopefully start waking up a little earlier so I can get some things done.  For now, I'm taking it easy and trying to work out some kind of schedule where I actually DO something while I'm home!

I don't mind the new job, but truly think I'm tired of working 40-50 hours a week.  Just hope to hold out an extra 2 years to avoid a big penalty on my pension.  The jury is still out, but with the new job, I've really increased my options. 

Nancy, it was wonderful to see you start the thread.  I read all you do, and have to admit, I'm ready to head back to bed for a little nap.  I'm in awe of your energy.

Feel free to smack JB in the head, as the others have suggested.  A wake-up call is in order for the man.

Time for a break from the 'puter.  Everyone have a good day.

Candy

Hey Candy!! I havent gotten into FarmVille..got enought RT chores to do but I am on FACEBOOK.  It's wonderful that your new job is working out so well and I do see the need to avoid pension penalties...options are good! *hugs* The time will fly by (seems to me that time is faster even moreso this last year).  Hang in there!

Do you ever get up here to Niagara, Ontario?
