Ok. Headed to the ER. Just did another neb that totally didn't help. Wish me something~ma.
Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

~ma for the ER visit being helpful, vw.
Much ~ma for you, vw. I hope you found the most compassionate and competent care, and that you are resting comfortably now.
Breathing-ma and quick-ER-ma, vw.
Well, I loved my first doctor, but when he went off shift, I got idiot doctor, who prescribed me 20 days on steroids. AFTER I'd told him that prolonged steroid usage causes me to get myopathy.
Of course, my doctor is not reachable, because of the holiday, so I have no idea what to do.
Take the drugs until you get ahold of your regular doctor. Anything is better than nothing at all. How soon after you started taking them the last time did you start having problems?
How long does it take for the myopathy to hit? I wonder if a few days of care and steroids will be enough to get things under control again?
How long does it take for the myopathy to hit?
It takes a couple of weeks. I'm planning on doing the "normal" taper that we usually do, instead of what the doctor prescribed. I'll double check that with my PCP as soon as I can get ahold of her. That will only be six days, rather than 20!
blows nose
This darned cold is still trying to kick my tush. We are packing up and heading down to Marina (near Monterey) for the night. I had wanted to party 2006 away, but I'll be lucky to be awake for the tolling of midnight.
Not sure if I'll be online later....so my best to the buffistas. May 2007 bring much joy and may 2006 go out with a whimper.
