HARD TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO!!

For those of you who have ever had to be on long-term steroid use, you will understand what I am going through right now. I have been on high dose steroids for almost 12 years! I was supposed to be on steroids for 3 weeks but I have never been able to come off of them. I have severe difficulty breathing when I try to decrease. I am in the process of trying to lower the dosage once again - and once again I am getting weaker. So frustrating! The drugs help keep me going and alive yet the side-effects are killing me, too! Don't know what to do - except trust the doctors and God to get me through this!!

It is a beautiful day outside and I will try to enjoy the day and not focus on my health! So hard sometimes!

Hi. I'm Jenny from The So-Called Mom (thesocalledmom.net), a web directory for parents and their sites. I was browsing around and I came across your site. I have to say I love it. :) I was wondering if you'd be interested in adding your site(s) to the directory. It's completely free, all you have to do is link back to it on your site somewhere (it can be anywhere). There is an option of a Featured Listing if you'd like that, but you don't have to. :)

If you're interested, check it out. :) We'd love to have you.

Im in need of a steroid shot mainly for my major tendinitis problem in my wrist. its been hurting to do everything. what is taking steroids like? i am following your blog, keep it up

Fun Mom said...

by the way, i am into the very "natural" healing methods. Have you looked into any of those or tried anything? taking too much prescribed meds could be why you are having such horrible side effects

Hi Debbie, I was touched on your blog. I just imagine how you feel everytime that you take your drugs, you don't want to but you need to. In times like these, you just hang on your faith on Him.

I think you were right to head outside. When those challenges hit you, being outside can make it easier to keep looking up - both literally and figuratively.

Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening
in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

Other then that, terrific blog!
