My steroids are working like magic. My chills are gone. My bad stomach pains are gone. My temp is not low anymore. My cough and sore throat are gone. I'm not blowing blood out of my nose or even blowing my nose. I am not lying in bed all day. I have actual legit energy now. I took a shower yesterday. I went shopping and actually wanted to go out for the first time in weeks. The vitmain D is starting to work as well. My concentration is better. Yesterday I watched 2 TV episodes all the way through in one sitting and then I even was able to concentrate on some gymnastics on TV for 45 minutes.

As for the side effects regarding the sterioids, there not bad. I don't have the scary mental health ones I read about. I have a bit of an upset stomach after I take them. And I can get a bit cranky after the second one. My pdoc said I could get irritated on them. My hunger is kinda high but I haven't gained much of anything. I'm not like binging or anything. I'm pretty much just eating a lot of salads, reduced sodium cans of soups, string cheeses, and a ton of saltine crackers. So nothing too unhealthy. I turned down ordering pizza these last 2 nights. I am having sleep problems which my primary told me might happen. I got an hour of sleep after 10 but I don't feel too tired.

Mainly though I'm feeling so much better physically the side effects aren't a big issue. I have 2 days left of sterioids.
