Thanks so much, April. Yes, I have meditation and relaxation techniques that I use on a regular basis. And my poor skin doesn’t have a chance between the EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), CLL, & the steroids. I’ll just be one big walking bruise for the next few months.

I’ll look for the internal arnica as well. Thanks for the tip. 🙂

Arnica is also available as an internal Homeopathic medicine that may help with healing the insides and keeping aches and pains at bay.

Some good guided meditation or relaxation music might be in order these days.

Thinking of you my friend and sending much love and light.

Thanks Christy. Getting ready to knock out now. 🙂

*takes tiara and places crookedly on head* I feel rather punch drunk at the moment, so a straight on tiara would be a crime. And yes, I made it through. Definite cause for celebration.

And my friend, if the water doesn’t start shedding on its own, I’ll take you up on that juicer idea. I rested my forehead against the dryer for a few moments and had a visible dent for several minutes. That’s. Just. Wrong.

And yes, the Not-MY-doc is a numbnut.

Steroids suck – they always turn my body into some sort of water retaining sea cow. Seriously I’m like that girl in Willy Wonka that blows up like a blueberry – only it’s water. Hopefully drinking plenty of water will flush your body so you can feel more comfortable. If not we’ll just roll you into the juicing room and squish it out of you! (I’m all about the solutions here my friend). *hugs*

Also, just wanted to say: You made it through the first 3 day cycle!!! You did it!!! It wasn’t what you wanted to do but you did it and you rocked it. *hands over tiara*

Thanks, Anna. I’m just cranky because the guy missed a BASIC part of the prescription which rendered it (at the moment) useless. All because he was too caught up in regaling the office staff with stories of his residency back east. *sigh* After all, I am a writer, and we cut our teeth on lack of sleep for the cause, right? 😉
