goodbye Entocort, hello Prednisone!
well my entocort trial finally ended a few days ago, the only thing it did was get rid of the diarrhea...which is great, but i was sick to my stomach a lot and had little to no appetite the whole time and threw up for no reason quite a few times while on it. finally got a hold of my GI (after leaving 4 messages) and he got me back on the prednisone today. ive done prednisone before with great results but we only did a 6 day "power pack" and i felt amazing while on it but as soon as i was off it i fell right back into my crappy slump...literally. so now we are doin a month course starting with 30mg, i really hope it sends me into remission, harvest is coming up and it would be nice to not be sick during our busy season for once.
a couple hours after my first dose today i was STARVING! and was full of energy. my ma made chicken dinner tonight so i went over there and ate more than ive eaten in probably 3 months...i actually ate a full meal and dam near licked my plate clean, i hogged it down fast....and no nausea! yay! im so happy to finally be feeling ok for once. hopefully ill be able to put some weight back on while on the prednisone. im going to go to wendy's tomorrow and get a spicy chicken sandwich (which i swore i would never eat again) to test the waters...and if that goes well then ill have to get some mexican food from Nacho's, i love their food but havent been able to eat it in a long time. its so nice to be craving food again. anyway, im just real happy and had to tell somebody about it lol. take care everyone.
