Can't I just feel better for a second?

Well the muscle problems have subsided a bit but my joints hurt like heck! I feel like an old arthritic lady.

I have been under a serious amount of stress lately. I have been laid off from my job with the really good medical benefits. Luckily I can continue them under COBRA (for a grand total of $904.00/month!)...Pray that I get a new job soon. I'm in Health Care informatics if anyone has contacts.

So I think the stress is wearing me down. My last HgB (1.5 weeks ago) was 9.2. Doc still wants me to continue with the 40mg/day of Prednisone. Part of my problem is that I , admittedly, haven't been eating well. I've given into the stress and cravings and have gained 5lbs of my 11 back. I'm back on track today and hope that eating better will help (It usually does...)

Have another CBC this week. Here's hoping that it will be back up!
