why let people think you are a strong person. if they think you are strong, they will give you a burden to carry that may break your back and show your true weakness. they will call you emo when you are having a breakdown. they will look for reasons to stop being your friend. all because you are not the strong person they thought you were.
okay, I have been off the steroids for a few days now, and I am starting to feel a little weaker and shaky, but that may be from not getting any steroids. I would feel like this whenever the dosage was lowered. too much time on them, I guess.
and yeah, I decided this should be a public post. ADEM sucks, at least that is what I have been told my diagnosis was. I did have mono-paralysis of my right leg/foot and was unable to stand or walk without falling down. being off my medications, I have to watch for this to not flare up and reoccur. hopefully it has been finished off and will never come back. there are points where I feel dead tired, but am able to still move. those are the days I come home and crash early, sometimes sleeping all night. if you see me online and I am idle [AOL or yahoo], it is more than likely I have crashed. leave a message and I will respond when I get back on.
i have been feeling a little shaky the last two days, so i have been taking it easy. the shakiness has happened in both legs, buy not at the same time. i don't want anymore steroids and i definately don't want to go back into the hospital. it happens when the foot is in a certain position...i know when i was admitted to the hospital, they did something to my foot [a certain position] and my leg would shake uncontrolably. that is what my leg started to do the other day. i do see one of the doctors this week, so i will bring this up then.
i think it is time for stretches now!! >^.^< murrrrr
