Up Dose

Mo left a comment to the previous post, which, in part, said...." Last doctor appointment I mentioned my aching left side adrenal...she looked at me like I was nuts."

My main response is, why do doctors act like they know everything? Especially when treating someone with a rare disorder?

I never had the back/flank pain before. This was the first time for me. My adrenal glands were so inflamed I could feel their outline in my body. When my lungs are inflamed, I can feel their borders as well.

It's not a woo-woo concept. If things are inflamed or otherwise irritated, you will feel it. Maybe not as precisely as I have, but you'll feel something, which is how the body is supposed to work.

Anyway, I'm wiped.

Possibly from not enough sleep. The weather has been as rowdy as a biker bar. It smacks into the house, rattling the windows and causes us to check for tornado warnings at 2 am. We have a huge, ginormous oak tree in the backyard and the wind was hitting the house with such force, I began to fear the tree would lose a major branch or we would end up in Oz. Not a situation conducive to sleep.

Since I can't absorb anything less than an ideal life... I took 10mg today instead of 7.5mg and I still feel like a zombie.

So we'll see. I'm still hoping that this will all come together in time for me to be off steroids by June 1st, but I can tell it's going to be a fight.
