Changes

I've blogged in a minute.  I have some what good and bad days.  Its 2:28am and I'm up feeling some type of way.  I'm glad my Dr. Is weening me off the Prednisone that makes me so happy maybe my sugar levels will remain good and come off the insulin as well.  He took me off two but add two more Gabapentin for my joints and Allopurinol for the gout my uric acid is high.  Gout does run in my family but never, thought I would join the number. These medications have so many side effects. Dry mouth, diarrhea, nausea, worsening joint pain, loss of appetite, muscle pain, tightness in the chest, life-threathening allergic reaction, swollen glands or lymph nodes, weight gain, swelling of the lip or tongue, servere tiredness or weakness, chills just to name a few.  I hurting on my left side it feels like apain I had before throbbing and a sharpe pain. That hurted worse to lay on it. 

Today is my Birthday!!!!

Today was a great day. I didn't do anything  out of the norm just relaxed in my own atmosphere and that was enough for me.  The love that I felt the most was from family and friends that didn't forget it was my birthday.  I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH LOVE and that's all that mattered today. It was one if those things better than gifts or cake and ice cream.  Sometimes the gift of love out weighs everything. When you have been sick as I have love means a lot.
