Hi LL, Hoping for you to have a good day today.

Geaton, Whenever I need a laugh, I get out my My Cousin Vinny DVD. I’ve seen it countless times and it still makes me laugh. As a Bronx Italian I can relate big time.

Good morning, Lea. I hope the night went well and you wake up with less dizziness today. I check in daily even if I don't write something. May there be blessings in this day for you.

Praying for you here in Fl on Saturday night. Especially that this taper would give you a break for a change.

You are treasured here on this site!

Well Lea I will give you our estate sale expedition experience today. Since granddaughters are in town and they love shells we went to one that had pictures of tons of shells of all sorts. We got there and one person was buying all of them. We squeaked by with buying a few they let us get. Literally this buyer must have paid I estimate possibly $1,000.00 for the collection. It was a huge amount.

So afterwards we went to Athleta,J Crew and DSW for some back to school shopping. I truly look forward to the time you are better and able to get out but it can be frustrating. There was alot more in this house but none of it appealing. Some high end jewelry. A Miriam Haskell necklace for $100.00 but it wasn't that interesting. I didn't get anything for myself but we had a nice excursion of sorts.

Good afternoon, Lea. I’m going to meet up with my daughters in just a bit at one of our favorite middle eastern restaurants.

Just wanted to say hello, thinking of you and of course, sending prayers for your awful dizziness to ease up.

Actually, to hell with easing up, you have done your tour of disturbing dizziness. I would like to see your dizziness completely disappear!

Although, I know that you would be grateful for any amount of relief. It’s been so long that you have been dealing with this crap.

Hi Geaton, I'm having a rough go of things the past couple of days. Extreme dizziness and bad headaches, so mostly lying in bed. I went down to 10 mg today so I don't expect things to improve anytime soon 😑

Can't live with them, can't shoot them!

I'm laughing over here and totally understand 🤣

Joining in with prayers for this next taper!
And, as always, for the dizzies to just calm down!

Lea,

Glad your iron levels are okay. Tapering off is a slow process and is the only way to achieve this goal.

I wish that you could speed up this process and feel better. I will be so happy when you begin to feel like yourself again.

As always, I send my love, prayers and hugs your way.

Yeah I have one of those micromanaging husbands. It’s challenging because we now live together full time. Love him dearly but sometimes …

My iron levels are normal, so that's the end of hoping for low iron to be the cause of my dizziness issues. The results of the Valley Fever lung fungus test is still outstanding at this time. All indicators point to the immunotherapy being the cause of the toxic reaction in my body, as always.

Tomorrow I taper down to 10 mg of prednisone. The headaches are worse at night, probably since that's when the least amount of it is in my body.

My home mortgage was sold to another lender for about the 5th time recently and now I have to set up payments again, etc for August 😣😑. What a pita to deal with this from my cell phone w Chuck supervising from the couch! I'd like to supervise for once while he takes over ALL THE HOUSEHOLD FINANCES! It must be nice to live in la la land with someone else handling all the bills! Ugh. Men. Can't live with them, can't shoot them. Too much togetherness the past 6 months has me ready to strangle the man 😂🤣

I'm still hoping and praying that as you taper off the prednisone that things are slowly but surely getting better for you.

I take Tylenol or ibuprofen for the headaches RD. And I am a migraine w aura sufferer too which Topomax takes care of, thankfully.

Today I'll go get my blood drawn for iron levels and Valley Fever, just in case.

Can they prescribe medication other than narcotics for the headaches. There are a variety that are for migraines which affect the dilation of blood vessels. Sometimes narcotics can actually exacerbate headaches. I realize you are not a classic migraine sufferer but perhaps those medications could help with severe headaches. I have at times had them so badly I literally want to blow my head off. Figuratively, not really going to do that but that is how bad the suffering can be.

Girl, I continue to pray!

Darn side effects!

Its going cxmoody. Not as bad as anticipated but the headaches are very bad. I'm hoping they have to do w the taper vs anything more sinister, but headaches are listed as a side effect. Dizziness is the same, I had my one decent day on Monday I guess. Thanks for asking 😁

So Chuck made a seafood platter last night for my birthday with seared scallops, a small lobster tail, large Cajun grilled shrimp, rice pilaf and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. It was amazing. With a mint chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate cake Cold Stone ice cream cake for dessert, equally amazing. All in all a great day yesterday.

I hope you all have an awesome Independence Day today Ladies

Happy Birthday from a fellow ruby girl. Thought I posted this earlier but the whirlwind of family visiting keeps any train of thought from becoming intact. Hope you enjoy the day. I made a lemon cake with a grandaughter yesterday that turned out great. This was for my son and daughter in law who arrived today. My daughter is making a mostly red and blue cobbler with berries for tomorrow. It is incredibly hot and I hope to stay home with the 9 month old and pass on the parade. Hope your 4th is as patriotic as you wish.
