I've been back at work 3 weeks now. And I've been tapering off predisone. These two things don't go well together. I've been having a lot of pain. I mean A LOT. So much so that I've even been dreaming I have bowel obstructions and pain. It sucks that I can't escape the pain in my sleep.
On top of it all, I've been having so much diarrhea that I'm in the bathroom at least 8 times a day. Most of the time, it is mostly liquid, but sometimes it is not. I'm also having trouble sleeping. I guess it due to pain. Earlier in the predisone course I thought it was the predisone, but now that I'm on 10mg/day it really couldn't be that. So I don't know what it is.
In other things, my son has started medication for his ADHD. It is helping him tremendously, but it is also sad that we were unable to help him without medication. And it isn't that we didn't try. He went to OT, we tried diet and behavior technique. But if the medication helps him, then we will have him take medication.
