Recovery

I'm not 100%, but definitely recovering from the evil Virus. It ran through everybody in the house last week. After 6 days, I thought I was safe. Nope. I had to cancel all my appointments yesterday - which means today will be rough. And I look like white trash, since I was vomiting hard enough to end up with a black eye.

Had lots of time to think things over though. Maybe instead of replacing that brocade undergown with plain linen, I'll do a quilted silk petticoat in coral? Whaddaya think?

I also want a copy of "Baked" by Matt Lewis. I DID find the Red Hot Velvet Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream recipe online, which I may make this weekend for Dale's Birthday. But I want a lot of the recipes in that book!

Also got our dining reservations made for Disney. I'm still going to check a few here and there to try to move them around. BUT we got Cinderella's Royal Table for dinner. ;-) Good fun.

I also concede that I need to learn to listend to [livejournal.com profile] ablackram 40 mg of pred = not enough. 50 mg = not enough. You were right, I should have started at 60 and been done with it by now. I are a chicken. And it gives me hot flashes.

Working tomorrow. Maybe I'll try to go raspberry picking on Monday. Next weekend - up to CHarlevoix to hang with the folks. SO lazy. No ambition.

ya, once in a while I know people medicine. :) Least I didn't offer the 1gm IVPB. That would have blown it to kingdom come and you would be awake for a week cursing me. :p

Yesterday came in to work with no computer. Nothing. Ded in the h20. So we limped it along for 3 hrs until we were mostly back. Not all back, but enough to do some work. no internet no nothing. Should have brought my embroidery

Hey, is there any potency difference between prednisone and prednisilone?

[identity profile] ablackram.livejournal.com 2009-09-06 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
prednisolone stronger. hydrocortisone bottom of rung for potency. Then prednisone, then prednisolone (give to kids more), then methlyprednisolone.

Which explains why the prednisilone I grab at work is more effective better than the prenisone I got from Meijer. ;-) I think I will continue to self-medicate.

ya it would be :) Which is why 60 of regular prednisone will just touch the rash from hell.
