GCA- saga

3 days of testing, OCT & can 't remember other test names. Hope blurred vision still could be from 60 mg pred. Could hardly do tests, so weak & can't remember things, actually screwed up checkbook but $ to my favor at least. Same time I started this journey on 40 mg pred. Feel ok right now. Couldn't do entries like this at certain times of day. Thank you for listening.

That seems like a perfect picture of the effects of high dose Pred. You are doing well to keep your sense of humour and perspective. Sending you my best wishes for your journey back to health. 🌷

I have liked your message but I hope you know what I mean. 🌻

Yes, too much detail. Thanks so much.

Detail is absolutely fine. I just wanted to acknowledge you needed to vent! We have all been there in one way or another. I had pred head at 15mg (even worse when I took 34mg by double dosing) so realise you will be up and down, as well as side to side!! 😄
