Want some cheese with that whine??

[nancerini]

Okay, I'm here to vent, and just basically complain and whine about my situation. I'm sorry, if you can't stand to see this then turn away now. (You can't say I didn't warn you) I am seeing some progress with the Azathioprene added to my Humira and I have been tapering off the Prednisone but the progress is so slow and I'm so tired all the time now. I sleep all the time, it is sad, really sad, and I have gained a lot of weight on the Prednisone and I'm super depressed about that. Being exhausted all the time, how am I supposed to be able to exercise and lose some of this weight? Seriously! Basically, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, I don't want to be sick anymore, I'm so sick of it!! Man I could really use a nap right now. LOL!

You're definitely not alone there. I've seen countless posts about being sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time. I've felt that way many times as well. Just remember that this time will pass and you will get better and you wont feel as tired all the time. Health comes first before weight loss. In the meantime you can at least make sure you eat healthy snacks and meals that are low in salt so you can help reduce the water retention. Also keep in mind that much of that weight is more than likely water weight caused by the Prednisone.

Thanks Crabby, I'm crabby lately too! I have been having wicked joint pain and I think it's because I'm tapering off the steroids (only on 5mg now) and I'm still waiting for the full effects of the Azathioprene. I'm such a whiner! LOL!

I'm another one that is not unfamiliar to that list. I feel like all I can do is just sleep the rest of my life away. With all the crap that I am fighting right now I honestly don't think that I have that much time left. If I keep at the rate i'm going I be gone in 10 years, i will only be 44 then.

Sorry to vent on your vent but I am sick and tired being tired.

Hopefully we both get put into remission very soon, along with all the under treated IBD'S!:hang:

I love reading everyone else's whine fest! It makes me not feel so alone!that and I've posted so many times on this forum today I have lost count!LOL! Oh those prednisone days!ug!i remember them well..I gained 70 pounds on freckkng steroids and that was water weight AND fat!i had the lovely moon face and hump on my back along with ankles the size of king king!and they made me absolutely nuts..ok!more nuts than usual! I was so moody all the time..crying jags, anger vents..oh how I hate that little pill! So.. I did lose the weight after some time off of them and when I have to do them now, I cringe!so don't worry! You will lose the weight when you get off them. I couldn't even begin to think of exercising on them either..I was so hungry I would eat a whole pumpkin pie in a day!
So I say whine away!think of it as you're saving your family and friends from it!and if that's the best ya got..you're not so bad!:ycool:
