Side Effects
I have found out that my birth control pills increase the effects of the cortisone in my Prednisone, which means that my appetite increases more and that things like water retention and weight gain are worse too.
I was off my pills for about a week and it's become apparent that there is a difference from when I take them and don't. It sucks... Either I stay off the birth control pills and not have the extra side effects and risk getting pregnant or I gain the weight and be extra moody and stuff. ;_;
Either way, even if I did get pregnant and was on the pill, my doctor has told me that I wouldn't be able to have a healthy pregnancy and that it is likely that I would be unable to support two life systems. That alone makes me want to push for a transplant so that I can actually have a healthy pregnancy when I am ready.
So now the next step is for me to stop being of such a weak will and actually following through on diet and exercise plans like I say I will. I guess my biggest problem is losing determination when I think about how long it will take to see results. I hate taking baby steps and have little to no patience when it comes to seeing results.
I guess it's time I figured out how to change that and to force myself to do what I say.
