What a difference the last three weeks have made to my general energy levels. I can now have a shower without needing a half hour nap afterwards and puffing my lungs up. I was even able to walk to the local IMVS to have my blood test. Took me a while but I made it. I still have some way to go though as I do feel a bit tired most days.
I am still on the steroids so I am still taking insulin twice daily. I am down to 10mg of steroid though. Another couple of weeks and hopefully this steroid/insulin thing is over. It is not much fun pricking my fingers three times a day for my blood sugar levels as well as two jabs of insulin per day.
I finally got to do some guitar practice after a three month hiatus. My fingers/hands have stopped shaking enough to let me do some practice. After all these months I feel like I am a beginner again – very frustrating.
