DYK I can empathize about the prednisone. I've been on that more times than I can count. So I know where you're coming from on the weight gain & mood swings.
DYK Sounds like a plan with the books? I always would prefer to be alone when in the thralls of that medication?
DYK I had midnight/early morning cleaning sprees when I took prednisone/decadron?
DYK DH found me cleaning the icebox out of the freezer at 2am?
DYK Hope it doesn't get that bad for you?
DYK I've been trying to read the rest of the February DYK's?
DYK I just now read where you offered your help with our drive out west this summer?
DYK Forgive me for being so behind?
DYK And I'd love your help...as soon as I can get Maegan over her exams this week and next and can focus on the trip again?
dyk Abi was diagnosed with "chronic hives" at 23 months old
dyk the allergist couldn't figure out what was causing them - and didn't believe me when I told her what the cause was - b/c they couldn't do a definite test for the dye stuff
dyk Sean is one town over (18 minutes) at a mentoring visit - he's talking to one of the leaders of our marriage classes about some man of the house stuff
DYK Thanks Jamie!!! Can't wait til after all this 'exam business' is over and I can really think about vacation again. I'm SO ready for this trip...just the chance to leave the house for a while sounds wonderful at the moment!!!
DYK I think it's allergy testing time for you as well?
DYK I had that done a few years ago and it didn't turn up hardly anything?
DYK But then I wasn't taking prednisone for allergies anyway...mine was due to low platelet count? Which, thankfully, hasn't been a problem for the last several years.
DYK I just swapped prednisone for a male hormone?
DYK Wanna talk about a whole different set of side effects with that stuff?
DYK LOL on the clean pantry? I could use that kind of enthusiasm right about now?
DYK I'll let you know when I can re-direct my focus back to our trip?
DYK What are you planning for your June trip up the coast? I know that alot of our travel in CA will be driving straight up the coast. Should be a lovely drive. We've done the Malibu/Santa Monica pier drive from Hollywood before. It's gorgeous out there!!!

DYK that does NOT sound like a good time!
DYK I hope the meds work quickly, and you feel better soon!
DYK do you have to stay on the prednisone for awhile, or just til the hives go away?
DYK I know how puffy that can make you (my mom was on it off and on for years)
DYK Sorry about your hives, Jamie?

DYK I only have to take it 5 days
DYK luckily I am feeling better with regards to the hives already, so that makes the side effects more easy to bear
DYK I think its probably time to do some allergy testing; i really don't want to have to do this long-term like your poor mom.
DYK LOL about the icebox
DYK I have been taking benydryl for a month for the hives (obviously, it did not work) and it started to give me the night jitters too
DYK our pantry and kitchen cabinets have never been so organized!
DYK I assumed that you were just behind on messages because I haven't seen you around this post in a while
DYK good to have you back.
dyk sorry you're so miserable right now
dyk my sister once had hives...BIL took a picture of her and she was unrecognizable ...they were that bad
dyk I hope the meds kick in right away and you get to feeling better soon
dyk hives suck!!!
dyk Abi was diagnosed with "chronic hives" at 23 months old
dyk the allergist couldn't figure out what was causing them - and didn't believe me when I told her what the cause was - b/c they couldn't do a definite test for the dye stuff
dyk the weather is ramping up here - it's about to get BAD
dyk we've been under a tornado watch since 11am
dyk I got my hair cut at 3 and two people have already commented on it - yea!!!
dyk my hairdresser rocks - I do the wash and go styles!!! I don'[t even blow dry!!
dyk Sean is one town over (18 minutes) at a mentoring visit - he's talking to one of the leaders of our marriage classes about some man of the house stuff
dyk should be interesting when he reports back!
