This is bit of an SOS!
I have been on 3mg pred for about 2 months, as well as TCZ. My son is getting married next Saturday at the other end of the country, and I have had a lot of extra stress form my parents who have mild dementia and are difficult. We are picking them up o the way, as well as other family. I have also been trying to organise their upcoming 90th birthday celebration. Last week I started up another AI disease, which has really stressed me. This week I have dealt with it really badly: I have dealt with 4 1/2 years of PMR and 3 1/2 of GCA fairly philosophically, but I have become very anxious. I have hardly slept this week, and in the morning s have been a total trembling wreck. During the day I have gradually put myself back together, only to be wrecked gain by morning - palpitations, shivering with cold, dizziness, trembly and extremely anxious, etc. Sleeping tablets have not helped. I though this was me being a wuss because of all the extra stress, but it has occurred to me just now that this may well be adrenal sufficiency. I felt so bad that I have taken 2mg extra pred, ie a total of 5mg. This is e/c so probably won't do much for a few hours.
Have I done the right thing? Should I do the same tomorrow? How can I best prepare to make it to the wedding? Sorry for the rambling, but my head is not functioning properly. So grateful that you are here.
