My doctor advised me to stop taking steroids (Prednisone) after taking half of a 5mg pill for a week.
So, the first time that I took half a pill, my body was feeling a little bit achy... maybe because it is also around the time that I should be getting my period, but since I am in Depo, I wasn't having it, and my body, was just in turmoil. So I need to go back to a week of drinking a whole pill like I used to.
I did went back to a whole 5mg pill for a work, and the week after I went to the half pill that was advised by my new doctor (My former doctor is already done with her internship, I assumed), and I did the half pill for a week.
Today marks the 3rd day of my "no steroids" day. I think I will stop counting when I lost track of it. There aren't many or major changes that happened. I notice that my fingers at the moment, 09/19/12 1:30pm, that my fingers on my right hand, only the pointer and middle finger, is a bit swollen on the first joints. My right foot, just a few inches from the ball of my feet, is hurting since last week, and I don't think it is part of the "no steroids" side effects. But if it become unbearable, I will drink ibuprofen. But hopefully, it's just caused I wore slippers too much the past month.
I am happy, that right now, I am on my way to better health and hopefully, will be able to have my baby soon... :) I am old you know, and my biological clock is ticking, and my baby envy at full mode!
But as for now... Yey!! One less pill a day!!!
