Mmm.. salted peanuts means happy kiddo!

I'm so munching on salted peanuts at the moment. Does a body good. Or at least a body filled with solu-medrol. Day two of my infusion went without an problems, which I'm very happy about.
I'm still completely blind in my left eye, yet, I can't complain because I feel still relatively good. I feel like a could dance a jigg!
It's rough having not had an IV infusion in a while because you forget all the nasty side effects. With a healthy dose of steroids you get: the sweats, salt and sugar cravings, bloating, break-outs, insomnia, restlessness and hunger. It's annoying but in order to get my vision back I'll do anything at this point.
I'm excited for tonight, it's a calming night of pizza and movies with people I love. I'll try to write more later, but my life just isn't that fascinating at the moment.

Update, day two on prednisone

Metformin update: I've managed to lose 4.5 pounds since last Friday and I can't help but think it's all thanks to the Metformin. Hope this is a sign of what's to come.

Worked a full day today and I'm exhausted. I took my prednisone around 10 a.m. and managed to hold off on the hot flashes and sweating until about one. I haven't noticed any other side effects yet but I'm sure they will make themselves known to me on my fourth or fifth day.
The numbness hasn't died down yet and I'm wondering how soon it will go away. I really need my legs back thank you very much.

It's hard not to let yourself get discouraged. I just have to remember that I was a normal person before both of these diseases and I'm still that same person, if not just a bit stronger. My heart and thoughts go out to you fellow PCOsers and MSers. It's a tough world, we just need to remember to stay strong!

Enter the sweats

I took the prednisone when I came home today from the doctors office and now I'm sweating up a storm! I swear, I've soaked through the outfit I'm wearing! How do you fellow MSers cope?
