Well, the doctor has put me on Prednisone 20 mg 2x a day. If I was worried about gaining weight before now... lets just say I have pretty much gave up on that and have decided that I just want to "live" day to day. Went for blood work and my creatine is at 2.05 down from 2.16. I hope it keeps going down. My left side of my face is very numb and my hand/foot but mostly hand goes into cramp mode. Not a good feeling and I can feel when its about to happen. My mind is foggy and I tend to forget things. Important I write things down and make sure I look like I know what I am doing. Doctor is sending me to a dietian to help with the portions of protein, I want to take care of me more then ever. I want to keep from getting dialysis as long as possible. At present I am experiencing the stomach bloating that comes from the steriods. Monday is the day I find out what my kidney biopsy results are.
Left leg/ankle/foot is swollen but not to bad. Left side of face is numb. It only gets this bad if I am stressing out about something. Need to learn to relax and "breath".
Need to research and find what foods (healthy choices) so I dont gain as much weight as the steriods tend to do. My teeth are getting worse, the plak is bad and I started brushing with baking soda and peroxide. The medical bills have piled up and I have one company/doctor who I use to see pressuring me for full payment. They said if I show them my bank statement/pay stubs and my medical FMLA paperwork maybe they will work something out. (I dont think so) I have called to start bankruptcy paperwork. I am keeping current on the current bills but the past ones keep getting bigger because of the interest rates. I think this is my only option right now. I already have bad credit and to get harrassing phone calls just makes me feel hopeless and scared... If they garnish my checks I wont have enough to pay my rent and get my medications... yea, unfortunately I didnt want to go this route but I dont see another option.
