Today marks five years of treatment
Today has been a rather weird day for me. I am truly grateful that I made it to this marker. I have been recalling all the different states of physical and mental ups and downs of the last 5 yrs. or more. I remember at 2 yrs. of treatment, I finally came out of denial, that it was going to be a lifetime thing that it was not just going to disappear suddenly. I really felt early on that I was going to be in remission right away and would not have to take all the meds for long. I remember the Doc kept repeating to me, baby steps, this treatment doesn't work for everyone, so we have to switch to this. I have taken every treatment so far. I have finally gotten to 8mgs of preds, RTX every 6mos, Bactrim MWF and the typical Vitamins. I would say that things have slowly improved and it has been baby steps. I have developed a lot of complications from not being able to get off of the preds and also had COPD to deal with, but I'm here. I am so thankful for all the fellowship and friends that I have found thru this forum. I know that over the years, if it weren't for the sound advice and caring words, I would have not gotten thru some of the mental ups and downs as smoothly. So thank you all for being here for me!

Do not fear anything, just do it afraid!
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop!
