Hello everyone, wishing you all the best.
Having a terrible time right now. I am not myself at all. I feel so agitated and frustrated and anxious and can't figure out why. Life is pretty much the same no major catastrophies....there is allot going on in my life and has been for some time but I have coped pretty well I think.
But the last couple of days have been horrible, just at my limit. Then when the least thing happened on top of it, even watching the news for heavens sake, I actually had to run to the bathroom as I was so worked up inside I just suddenly started gagging. My stomach in knots, just gagging that's all. It's like I cannot handle one more darn thing.
My life is stupid, my health is stupid, the world is stupid and I hate everything. :huh: :dry: :blink: :( Well there then! ?????
What the heck is going on with me? I feel like I could crawl right out of my skin.
I am a nice person, and a good person and I don't like feeling or thinking like this at all.
Someone please tell me I am not ready for the jacket that ties in the back...please

I've done high dose pred twice, and now my platelets are dropping again, they are down to 80 while I wait to see if I can get funding....
Is this jittery misery from the pred? I have stayed on 10mg for the past 6 weeks to see if it would keep my platelets up. I went on the second high dose Sept 1st it's now mid November....that's a long time ...is that maybe why? thanks Sandy Too

Sandy - Prednisone can cause that. I had steroid induced depression as my dose was tapered. I was a basket case. It does get better.

LOL, while your waiting on funding, might want to do a little Internet research on Harry Houdini. Could be time well spent. He had a way of getting out of that jacket, which ties in the back.

It's the Pred I'm afraid Sandy.. I got better once under 10mg a day. With I count of 80 I'd be tapering my dose down.
