Due to the insane holiday, I was unable to post. How was your 4th?
My 4th was pretty decent, minus drama.. and the inability to drink alcohol... and of course, keeping a smile on my face. But. I did it. I finished my first set of steroid injections on Saturday morning. Yay, right? Well, I wish it was that simple. You would think that I'd feel like a million bucks again, that all of my previous symptoms would be gone... but nope. I feel worse.
From Tuesday to Saturday I proceeded to go to my local hospital for my daily steroid injection. After an hour hooked up to the IV, and a horrible metal taste in my mouth, I was allowed to leave each day. Well, yesterday morning I went in just as before, and I told the nurse that yes, my symptoms have gotten better (everywhere but my hands have feeling again). Around 3pm, I started getting exhausted, so I just sat around and enjoyed the people.... by midnight, I was seeing in double and triple. Which I guess is common, they said it might happen. Anyhow, today I got up... Nauseated, dizzy, upset stomach, incredible fatigue, pounding headache, sore muscles... I feel like I was hit by a freight train... but, they said its all common side effects.
I really hope this gets better... or I get used to it, because this really isn't the way to live a life as a 24 year old yound mom of 2...
