mellya1975's Notizen, 12 Okt 11

ok, so i have "reached my goal weight"....i know i should sound more excited, but i feel more trepidition than accomplishment...perhaps it is the forever reliable tormented inner voice telling me i will fail again and gain weight...i am trying hard to not listen. also i am sick. i am a bad asthmatic that has caught a nasty head/chest cold from one of my lovely 4 children....can't blame just one cause they are all sick! :) so here i am, an emotional run-away train ready to crash into whatever is in front of me...be it my husband, kids, co-workers, etc. taking 80mg of prednisone a day is terrible. i can't smell anything, i am sleeping up at a 40 degree angle at night to breathe, i wake up breathless, i am sweaty (i hate that one the most), my face is puffy and red, and my hands shake. couple all that with my sarcastic bad mood and short temper and I am ready to kill me. the only thing i can taste is the aweful aftertaste of prednisone. i actually swallowed my pride and told my doctor i need ativan if i am going to be on this dose or higher and he agreed (for the sake of me maintaining my marriage). i have only had to take 1/2 tablet twice and i have been on the prednisone since friday....so really not too bad. my husband is barely speaking to me cause i got mad when he turned up the "dinner" music when we were eating dinner too loud. i called him narcissistic and selfish...oops. he just knows to stay away...far away from me. so i appologize ahead of time, to all that read this. usually i am happy-go-lucky....just not today. i am hoping to not have to go into work until 11pm (i took on-call from 7p-11p) in hopes of lying down and resting since i was up half the night on the couch channel surfing because of the insomnia that goes along with taking prednisone. on a good note, my house is sparkily clean, the laundry is done, and dinner is made. sometimes not being able to sit still works to your advantage too...

Ugh, I hate prednisone. I used to get bronchitis 4 times a year when i smoked and always given that. 1/2 the time I only took 1/2 the pills cause I don't like not sleeping and feeling like I'm on crack. I recall being angry and violent on this med as well. I'm thinking the side effects it causes are worse than what it's trying to treat. Get better soon so you can ditch those nasty pills.

You poor thing! I too am asthmatic and allergic to pretty much everything. I'm typically on pred at least once per year and sometimes twice. I don't get angry, but I don't sleep at all and I'm 100 miles per hour. Worst thing - I ALWAYS gain weight. I totally understand and totally empathize with you. The only good part about it for me is that it's the only time ever that I understand how easy it is for normal people to breathe. Here's hoping you feel better soon!

I was on high dose in the hospital, and had to continue taking it for a year. I gained 90 pounds on that dang drug. And that is why I am here 4 years later tring to get rid of that 90 pounds.

Where is the confidence that got you down to your goal weight? But I believe you are right - as soon as you complete get that Prednisone out of your system you'll be back to your old self. Congratulations!

Feel better. That is a nasty drug. You should likely be off work right now? oh, and congrats on being at goal. You can do this, you can do this, you can do this. (Just in case you loose your own motivation)
