It has been suggested to me that I'm going through steroid withdrawal right now and not adrenal insufficiency. That could very well be the case. I just don't have any of the muscle pain I attribute to withdrawal, but that doesn't mean it's not withdrawal.
If it's withdrawal, I should progressively feel better this week.
The only thing...I re-read my last several months of posts and wow. I've really been having issues with my appetite and energy. I always tell myself I'm doing great and then whine on here. When I read the whining, I can see how hard I've been pushing. I don't think it should be this hard.
I drove yesterday and was okay without extra steroids. Ate breakfast and lunch, but no dinner. Mostly felt okay. A little wiped and kind of cranky, but there's hope that today will be better.

I think this is a totally appropriate forum for venting the frustration and difficulties. It's what I do, and it helps me to not be "whiny" in my day to day life. I find your blog to be very informative and validating, so no complaints here about your "whining"! I hope this is a trend, that you keep on feeling a little better each day and if you do slide back into feeling bad, that it's temporary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying that. Sometimes I worry that, instead of being informative, all I have achieved is a bunch, of silent trolls deciding I'm depressed as opposed to understanding what I'm really saying.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to provide a side of value with the whining.
