only 6 more weeks...
So, prednisone is not my friend. As far as I can tell, it's not doing much of anything for my eye or back/leg, and the side effects are pretty terrible. I have a little bit of puffiness going on, but the fatigue and the WHOLE body pain/tenderness is a bit much. The good news is that the dosage decreases each week and I should hopefully start feeling better some time in late March. Joy. I will be done with the course the first week of April. So, I am looking at that as the light at the end of the tunnel.
My neurologist has now definitely diagnosed MS. So, I guess I will be seeking a second opinion in the weeks to come. But, in all honesty, it makes sense. Mine appears to be early stage and not crippling, which is definitely in my favor. There are some AWESOME breakthroughs going on right now in research and the hope is that there will be a cure some time in the next 20-30 years, if not sooner. At least I now have some answers.
