I stayed home yesterday and picked up my prednisone. I was OK yesterday, had a lot of tension and pain in my shoulders and neck and kept finding myself sitting in ways that would aggravate it. I would try to consciously be as limp as possible and not engage any of my joints. It sucked.
I'm back at work today, took the prednisone yesterday (20 mg for 5 days and then taper) and today I have serious aching from my ankles and knees. I've been struggling to eat clean for awhile. There's been so much extra stress on me the last couple weeks I kept giving in to my cravings.
Well, no more ... I have a feeling my weight is only aggravating the ankles that already hurt. So ... enough is enough. I'm on prednisone again and have no idea if I am going to have to be on it for awhile and I want to feel as good as I did when I was eating clean.
I stopped being a trainer at work because it was the part of my job I hated, and it was a HUGE added stress to an already stressful job so ... that's off my shoulders. I am still adjusting to that. I feel a bit like I left my training team short handed but ... that's my supervisors fault for loading us up with trainees and expecting everything to work smoothly. I am sick, I may have more wrong with me then I originally knew so I just can't do that anymore. I want to be happy at work again.
Pain is spreading today! BLAH!
