Woke up at 6.00am this morning and have not stoped crying, cannot explain why, is this due to my reducing from 10mg to 8.5mg, i am using the DANS method, so far apart from a few niggles i am ok.
Hubby thinks im mad as i cannot explain why i am crying he says there must be a reason, and i just bawl my eyes out, felt depressed before but never this.
Oh well the joys of pred, hope you all have a good day. Mags
Poor Mags. Perk up! You don't want to be in competition with your grandson now, do you?
We all have/or have had crying fits, not to worry they always disappear!
Regards fr C. ☕️☕️💐
Hi Mags, sorry to hear you are depressed but I am sure a lot of it is to do with the weather as we all feel a little like that. Lets try and bring a smile to your face.
One day a pirate walked into a bar. while the bartender was pouring his drink he looked at him and said, "What happened? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied: "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained: "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them poo'd in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just from bird mess."
And the pirate replied,
"It was my first day with the hook."
Happens to us all. Best wishes Dave
Hi Dave. Can't remember where you live. What's the weather like over there? 30 - 33 degs for the next few days over here (and in Italy -Eileen!) I'll be glad when Autumn comes!
C. 😎😎🍻
Hi constance. I live in Hampshire UK and its been very very wet the past 2 weeks off and on and the New Forest is flooded in places, September looks better though.
trouble is he does not cry much
Oh dear! It'll be you crying next!
oh thank you i have laughed out loud and hubby just looked as if to say bloody hell one of them days, told him this and he is laughing his head off.
And that's a TROUBLE????
No what i meant was its me doing the blubbering not him, as far as i know he seems to be a good baby apart from the usual feeding troubles.
Margaret, I am sorry you are feeling low. Pred can cause depression, if it gets bad tell your GP. Are you saying you are dropping from 10mg to 8.5mg? That is quite a large drop. The rule of thumb being ten per cent max at any one time.
Ptolemy Hi, it as taken me since June to get where i am, my doctor was happy the way i am doing it by using the DSNS method, but i go see a Rheumatologist on Wednesday and she said to tell them what i am doing, i first went on pred on 7th Jan, 2015 and only started reducing in May, so i dont know if maybe i am going too fast do you think?
Margaret, it is a pretty fast reduction in four or so months to get to 8.5mg. Under 10mg things can get more difficult for some people. However if you are stopping the pain at your current dose you should be ok. Talk to your rheumy this week and see what they say.
On my...now I'm crying!!!! From laughter, great joke.
And Margaret, sometimes our body or mind just NEEDS to cry! It can be a beautiful release, sad men don't get to feel, kind of sad for them, though my brother cries at movie scenes! Which I'm proud of him for that.
heck, with my symptoms of dry nose, dry mouth, I purposely look for movies to make me cry!
get the emotion out, then I'll bet you have a glorious day after!
You are welcome my dear. I find that I can be happy one day and suddenly the world is against me (or so it seems). Pred seems to give you mood swings quite quickly, it only takes the slightest upset to change things. You will soon recover, if not I will threaten you with more jokes.Take care, Dave
Hi Layne. Some men do get upset and show their emotions. I cry when watching Bambi and thats in black and white, (for those old enough to remember) especially when it slides across the frozen lake. luckily I have friends who regularly send me silly jokes like the pirate so that brightens me up,
Really? Bambi on the frozen lake? I went into fits of laughter.
Ptolemy as i have not seen a rheumy i dont know what to ask, any thoughts on this please as i want to do the right thing. Many thanks
Dave i will cry more often if i can have more of your jokes please, i must admit i have never been like this, but feeling better just talking about it, and yes i know other people today have worse problems, but it helps to talk .
Take care.Mags
my belly has not shaken as much since i fell in the snowdrift.
