As the day wore on into the evening, I found myself getting weaker and weaker. I usually am wiped out from IVIG, but never this bad. I was having to lay down on the floor to rest in order to crawl another 5 feet,.....trying to get to the bathroom. Finally, I got so weak that it felt like my life force was draining away. Mom called both doctors. The kidney doctor said to take 10mg of extra steroids (which we did right away). The neuro doc said for her to observe me and then "make the call" to go to the ER tonight or not. I started perking up during the 2nd phone call, and feeling much better. The more time passed, the better I felt. (The steroid) was kicking in. Whew... saved me the cost of a hospital visit. Tomorrow, I am splitting my 10mg pills into quarters, so I can taper even more slowly. Its the only way I know that will work. So, that was our sassy Wednesday night. I hope we have a really boring night on Thursday. Mom and I are long overdue for some peace and quiet and worry exemption.
About Me
- Amy Jordan
- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- I'm a disabled Cardiac RN turned contemporary folk artist as of June 2006, but I've been painting off and on since the year 2000. I love to create and collect folk art, and you can find me at every festival in north Georgia come autumn. I'm divorced from an evil madman as of March 2007. He wanted a Mama and a prostitute... of which I am neither. Poor fellow, but at least now he is free to spread his venom elsewhere. I've been through some heart wrenching times in the last 2 years, and I am still recovering from it all emotionally. Physicallly... well, thats a different story. Let's just say that I plan to have a long talk with God when I get upstairs. Enough is enough. I've done my time, so to speak. My only prayer is that I will be free from this entrapment sooner rather than later.
