I guess I'm just skeptical, because the last time I was told that I'd have a symptom for 4-6 weeks, it never went away (the headache in the back of my head, from the encephalitis). So, it's hard to focus on much other than that.
Maybe, tell your doctor about this concern? Hopefully she can reassure you that it won't be the case this time, adequately. Although it is your experience, and a big one, try to keep in mind that this is a different situation. That may help to keep from feeling overwhelmed...
This sucks. {{vw}}
Maybe, tell your doctor about this concern?
Yeah. I'll talk to them about it today.
Thanks everyone.
I hope your day goes better than expected, vw and that your doctor says what you need to hear.
You can do . it will get better and thepain will not be as intense for all 4 weeks .
{{vw}} What everyone else has said, for they are all wise.
Deena! Good to "see" you. Is the house closing coming up soon?

Not remotely comparable, but I've been going through a series of chain-reaction problems with my right leg (due to chronic, recurring arthritis in my feet, that cause me to limp for a while, that aggravates my knee/ankle/whatever, that causes me to limp a while more, that aggravates...rinse, lather, repeat) for the last week, and I'm so sick of not being able to move around remotely normally it's making me stir crazy. I can't even imagine going through the kind of breakdowns your body is pulling on you. Much health-ma {{{{{{{{{{{
Home from the doctor. Some notes.
1. They've taken me off the steroids. They think the side effects of ending the taper early won't be nearly as bad as the side effects for staying on them. So, there you have it.
2. I've gained 20 pounds. That's 6 more than the 14 I had lost on the diet. I am most frustrated.
3. I am back on house arrest. Feet are to be up through the weekend. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to listen to them on this one. I have an exam on Saturday. And dammit. I don't want to have to drop another freaking class.
4. I appear to still have my job. The sobbing on the phone when I called in may have helped.
5. They're re-running all the blood tests again on Monday morning to see where things are.
6. I am SO frustrated. I just don't even know where to begin. I think, though, it'll be with a nap.
Best wishes, vw. I hope this difficult time ends soon.
