What the...?! Every time I turn around, somebody somewhere has changed a user interface. New icons, new symbols, new layout, new menu structures, but same old stuff underneath. Why can't they let the user interface designs alone?
Sore throat. Now been two full weeks.
Prednisone. I've been on it for more than a week, and today the doctor renewed the course for another 10 days or even more. I hate the stuff. I feel like I'm being poisoned. I've never had chemo, but I sure can imagine that this is what chemo feels like, at least a little. I can't sleep, I'm all jumpy and hyper, I'm cross, I'm antsy, my heart races, I sweat even when it's cold, I get chills even when it's hot, I can't think straight, I can't concentrate, I shake, I feel sick, I feel dizzy sometimes, I ache in places I don't like to ache, I toss and turn and jump and spasm, I haven't had a good night's sleep in over a week. In short, I was looking forward to getting off the stuff. I was definitely not interested in taking even more.
But alas, I still have laryngitis, bronchitis, and asthma, unabated. My throat is still so sore I can't swallow. I still can't talk except in a hoarse croak. I can't puff more than about 250 peakflow. So, ... -- more prednisone. Sheesh. When will it end? When will it end? I've got work I need to be doing, and I can't do it on prednisone.

It will probably end when it goes away, or you die. I prefer the former, and soon. :)
Well... I love you! I wish I could help! Feel better! :) Listen to some good, happy, peaceful, uplifting music.
Thanks. I appreciate your sharing the wealth. But I would rather be able to talk.
WONDERFUL idea, DJ. I found some soothing angelic glass organ music (see my facebook post) and glass armonica classics that really calmed me down. Thanks for the prescription. And thanks to mom for the Sleepytime Throat Tamer.
