The curse of the green dip...

So the saga continues, as I'm keeping this blog pretty up to date it only seems fair that I share my downs with you all as well as all my positives. We all know the pain of a relapse and that's horrible news I have to share today.... 

After nearly 10 months of yellow sticks and managing to get my pred consumption down to the lowest I've ever been since this all started three years ago today I had the dreaded call to tell me my results have indicated relapse. But just to take a moment here to be positive its is pretty early thanks to the use of the sticks and so far I have no swelling really which is always good, I mean that's one less thing you've got to try and control. I have to thank my Dr 1000 times over as well, who knows as I am back at uni I can't just get to see him, therefore he emails me plans of action and always is only a email or phone call away if anything doesn't go to plan. 

But yeah back up on the steroids today, not the best thing but only being put up to 30mg is a blessing I've been so much higher and so much worse off than I am at the moment so I'm taking that as a win and early find is always a good one! My housemates are under strict orders to not let me eat the entire contents of the fridge and I'm sorry in advance for the steroid moodswings that are to come.

We know this is a risk that's always there but I'll carry on laughing my way too remission one day I'll be steroid free!
