It's down to the wire now and it's trickier than ever, but I tapered. Again.
I don't know, it just didn't feel right to updose and it's not like I can't updose if I need it, I can. So why not shoot for the stars?
On 2.5mg of Hydrocortisone today, I...
-stopped at the dry cleaners to pick up our ozoned drapes
-returned a too small sand box at Toys R Us and bought some other stuff for the toddler to help with hand-eye coordination OT goals
-went to Target and spent $20 (which is a miracle, Target is a money suck) to update the toddler's dance wardrobe as her class starts tomorrow
-picked up a lunch
-went to park and dealt with toddler tantrums over the swing. It wasn't swing-y enough???
-went to the grocery store with an whiny toddler
Felt pretty good until the grocery store, at which point I wanted to keel over and spoon the cold freezer doors in the ice cream aisle.
I've felt worse and clawed my way through, but it was weird. I started shaking and sweating and my mind wobbled like jello. If you'd asked me what 2 + 2 was, I would've said Pluto.
Thankfully the shopping was pretty much done, but not before I dropped a bunch of yogurt all over the floor. The shaking made me clumsy. (Of course the yogurt broke open and made a huge mess while everyone watched.)
It was not low blood sugar, I had just eaten and made sure to include some carbs in the form of cherries. Or maybe it was low blood sugar and I should've eaten more cherries? Either way it was somehow taper related.
I would like to take a nap, but the toddler has informed me it's sand box time. Hopefully the hubby will be home from work sooner as opposed to later today.

ReplyDeleteSpooning with the freezer doors...perfect. God it sucks to feel so sick when you're out and about. I feel for you. I hope you got some rest. Do you have a blood sugar monitor to check when you feel like this?
I am tired just reading about all you got done! So you spilled some yogurt...sounds like you got a whole lot done. I do think the shaking does sound a lot like low blood sugar though (not knowing anything about your condition).
