It feels so wonderful to be healthy again. Congrats for going into remission, and to be off the nasty prednisone--I know I hated that stuff, it made me very irritable, not to mention the moonface.

One doctor said she was on a dosage high enough to bering down a horse. The morphine led to side effects from hell. Hallucinations, crying jags, paranoia, depression, totally uncharacteristic behaviours, anxiety X 10, no ability to make intelligent decisions, irrational thoughts, attention seeking. Add to this the prednisone and all the other drugs, and life with the Thomas family was a whole lot o fun for many long weeks. I'm glad my lover is back. It was very hard to watch her suffer the way that she did. What Chris so conveniently fails to discuss is the massive doses of morphine that she required for pain.
