Here I was feeling all puffy and full of myself, thinking that once again I had beaten the beast! Ha! It showed me a thing or four during the night! So, here I am, two hours of sleep, called in sick to work (thank God my boss is cool!) and wallowing in self-pity. First attack in three and a half days hit me at bowling last night. I was so disgusted and disappointed I sat and cried in front of the whole league! So then I'm even more disgusted! They are all dear friends, though, and very understanding and supportive. So, finally it ebbed enough I was able to drive home, but that first one didn't completely go away for almost three hours, which is highly unusual for me. Three more hour-long ones throughout the night, each a little more frustrating (both physically and emotionally) and now what? Back to the propanolol, but need to stay off the prednisone for a few days...been on it too long. Don't you hate that feeling? So, we'll see what happens. A couple of hours of sleep and maybe I can start dealing with it again. I wanna be pissed...stand up and fight...bring it on, big boy! I will...
Thanks for caring,
Lee
