My talent with bad subject headers, let me demonstrate
I sort of really hate getting horrible insomnia on a Sunday night. It makes Mondays even worse.
I sort of really hate prednisone.
The two are connected. Prednisone leads to insomnia. Blergh. Tapering down from prednisone is also of the un-fun. I've been at 30mg for three days now. At least my mood swings aren't quite as terrible as they were a few days ago, so that's a good thing. Nobody needs me tired and super-cranky.
I'm sort of slightly getting hopeful that the Humira might be doing something. As mentioned, I'm at 30mg of pred. And the bleeding is dropping off quite nicely, rather than increasing. Yay me! The test will be whether I can get down to 25mg in a few days, which is the point where things started to go wrong the last time.
I have stopped taking my iron tablets. I know, maybe not sensible, but I think they may have been contributing to an, ahem, issue that I've been having. Three days of no iron = issue suddenly releasing. Heh.
Seeing Awesome GI Guy on Thursday. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a haemoglobin over 80, shall we? That's apparently the "Let's give her blood!" point. GI Guy may be unhappy about the no iron tablets thing, but I'll talk to him and see whether there's anything we can do about that. Going from one extreme to another so totally unhelpful, I'd just like to say.
This week I shall go to both yoga and knit night. There shall be no unsociable slug-like Selenay this week. Yesterday I went for a lovely brisk walk in the morning and today I hit the Wii Fit because the weather is too foul for a walk. It's a good sign than I managed both pretty well :-) If we ignore the attack of dizziness when the walking got to brisk for the anaemia...
12 days until new Doctor Who. Not that I'm excited or anything...
