A Drop In Steroid Equals...

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. I haven't been feeling the greatest. In my last post I wrote about how I had the lab tests done for my adrenal glands and how they came back showing that they still weren't working quite right--which meant that I needed to stay on the steroids...dropping down my dosage a little and then getting the tests done again in a few weeks. Well, Wednesday I dropped the dosage on my steroids which equals...I have NOT been feeling good!!!
I've been in bed most of the days resting--nauseated, my blood pressure gets low, super tired (although I'll fall asleep during the day sometimes, not always, but can't sleep very well at night), and just not feeling well. Then, Friday my wonderful sister, Janeice, took me out to the instacare because I'd been feeling heaviness in my chest and short of breath kind of for like a week (I thought maybe my steroids were messing with my allergies and asthma), so we had to go there and they said things were just inflammed in there (most likely from the steroids dropping). So we did a breathing treatment and sent me home with a nebulizer and some medicine.
Today I was able to make it to sacrament meeting! I'm so grateful for that--it always is a great start to the week! Now I shall watch a Hallmark movie with my mom (our weekend specialities...we love watching them) and try to get some sleep tonight; because tomorrow morning is my BIG morning/appointment!!! Tomorrow morning is my appointment at the Huntsman Cancer Institute to meet with the specialist doctor for my osteonecrosis!
