Cindy Thompson's Journal, 05 March 2011

Hi Cindy, so glad to see ya here.. Hope the hives are gone by now...Love and Hugs....Bren 

Oh Cindy, I wish you very much luck while on that evil stuff... Sorry to hear you had to go on prednisone. Feel better soon!! 

just know it's temporary - you'll be back on track soon! 

Keep doing what you have been doing and let's pray you can get off that med. very soon. TOWANDA!!!! 

Thank you my friends. The rash is still in full force but should subside soon hopefully. Prednisone is not fun as most of you well know but is necessary at the moment. Yes, I too pray that I won't be on this evil drug for very long as it's hard to lose weight while on it. Still keeping my chin up and reminding myself that this is not a race but a lifetime commitment to being healthier. Love ya'll bunches. Hugs{{{}}} 

Be well Cindy - one woman I knew years ago doubled her weight on Prednisone. I had Cortisone shots last summer but I think the side effects aren't as bad. I'm just glad I'm not as hungry as my dog - she can eat a bowl of food and be begging for more food a few hours later - I usually give in but just give her small amounts. The whining won't work anymore I made it clear to her I didn't like it, and she stopped that nonsense every time I was eating. Have a great Sunday, I will go to church tomorrow and hopefully for a long walk too if it isn't pouring rain out.  

Thank you Glenn. I am as hungry as a dog but will not give in. Sorry about your precious puppy. Glad you are able to get to church tomorrow my friend. Hope the weather is good so you can go on that walk too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend. Hugs{{{}}} 

Cindy, hope you are having a half way decent weekend..Do they know what caused the hives and the rash? I am praying for you dear sis! HUGS, my sweet friend! Love ya! 

All I can suggest Cindy is to drink water and lots of it, that might help. Hope the hunger subsides, sometimes just a little protein will help like chicken, fish, etc. I do that when I'm hungry instead of too much snack food and now the candy is done with too... 

Hi Stef! No known cause for the rash. Everything that I am eating is the same. No new enviromental issues like clothes soap, perfume, or other chemicals. Hopefully it was just stress and after this round of prednisone it will go away. At least I can hope and pray that this is the case. I really appreciate your prayers sister. Glenn, thanks for the advice about the protein and water. Have a blessed Sunday my friends. Hugs{{{}}} 

Cindy, it could very well be nerves with all the stress you have had lately. Its hard not to stress I know..Hope your day is sooooo good to you...Bren
