《《《 eat a rainbow 》》》 I'm making rainbowls again. 🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Get it? Rainbow bowls - rainbowls? Much clever. So wit. . I don't eat much. #spoonieproblems You'd think I'd be skinny, but I'm not. That might be partly #prednisoneproblems, lol. Lots of meds the past year that have made me chonky. But --- . I finally got my hysterectomy. Had a 4x normal sized uterus, endometriosis, a 12cm fibroid (it was WAY bigger, but I did 6 months of Lupron injections and they shrunk it. Also lupron put me in menopause which also helped cause the chonk.) All of that inflammation and stuff out should make a difference. Still got what they call "swelly belly" going on, but hopefully a flatter stomach is ahead, with healing. . I think I *might* have finally found a winner in rheumatoid arthritis meds. I started Actemra injections a couple months before surgery, and was juuuust starting to think maybe I could tell a difference? I've been through five other RA meds that failed. So if this one works, I'll be so happy. I had to stop it for a few weeks due to surgery, just started again, but fingers crossed. It might have been just coincidence? But it seemed like pain levels were down and energy levels were up and damn it, wouldn't that be so good? . I don't have much appetite ever. Chronic nausea and med side effects and allllllll the GI problems mean food just isn't that fun. But I'm working on filling up with more color - these daily rainbowls, and I got a juicer - woo hoo! - so I can start doing daily juice blends too. (Any tips on #juicingrecipes i should try??) . Do you have any specific goals with what you eat? I don't watch calories. I'm just aiming for 7 servings a day of fruits and veggies, which is more do-able with the juicer, and fills me up enough that I don't eat garbage. . Summer is coming. The pool is gonna get whatever body I bring it, lol. But I want to get STRONGER again. Energy. Stamina. Flexibility. You know? Skinny is lame. I wanna be able kick your ass. ;) Muscles. . #eattherainbow🌈 #fruitsandveggies #fruitbowl #rainbow🌈 #healingvibes #strongwomen #chronicallyill #chronicpainlife #spoonielife #chronicallyawesome #chronicillnesses (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7-YL8B4Ts/?igshid=10910i2wj1h3j

Autoimmune conditions can cause even more problems through treatment. Sometimes the treatment is as bad or worse than the initial disease. I have secondary adrenal insufficiency. This is caused by glucocorticoid steroid use to treat very severe asthma and very severe atopic disease. Even a little bit of stress can completely wipe me out, because my body doesn't make enough of the hormones needed to cope with it. I struggle to get out of bed a lot of the time. I suffer physical pain from the steroid withdrawals. My body feels like lead half the time and getting up and doing things is more effort than I can manage. But I can breathe, so that makes it "okay" according to a lot of health care professionals. But it's not okay. I'm trading one problem for another. Just because someone looks totally fine but seems lazy or not contributing as much, doesn't make that true. They might be fighting hardest of all. #autoimmunedisease #autoimmune #autoimmunewarrior #autoimmunity #asthmaissues #asthmalife #asthmaawareness #asthma #asthmaisnojoke #asthmasucks #asthmaproblems #adrenalfatigue #adrenalinsufficiency #adrenalinsufficiencyawareness #addison #addisons #addisonsdisease #prednisone #prednisoneproblems #invisibledisease #invisibleillness #asthmawarrior #invisibledisability #disability #disabilityisnotinability #disabilitypride #notlazy #notwhatitseems #disabilityawareness #autoimmunediseases (at Ngunnawal Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CccoxOXhxJb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Update and Surgery..
Sorry it's been quiet on the Tumblr front!
I've been struggling with this disease and all its lovely side effects!
It turns out the Mercaptapurine (6 MP) still wasn't working, even when my dose was increased to 100mg. I've since become steriod dependent. If I attempt to taper lower than 20mg, loose stools, pain, fatigue and general unwellness come back with avenagnce!
I decided upon surgery due to plans to move to Canada and the only other next step been biologics. I was advised I'd have a resection and 15cm of bowel removed. However, since I cannot withdraw from the steriods, I'm now opting for a right hemicolectomy with a temporary stoma (I say opting, this is my only option!) and they've got me in so quickly.. this Wednesday! God bless the NHS.
This operation involves removing the right side of your colon. They would normally join the small bowel (ileum) to the remaining colon. However, I will have a piece of bowel on the outside of my abdomen where stool will drain into a bag. This is a temporary stoma (called an ileostomy).
As advised in my pre-op... I'm getting plenty of fresh air and plenty of protein! Good job the sun hasn't stopped shining! ☀️
Here's a photo of yesterday's 8 mile walk in Northumberland..

Things are tasting better. That and the prednisone can be a 'weighty' problem. It tells you to eat things you usually don't-- like a bag of regular potato chips. Glad to be able to put hot sauce on my red beans though, chirren.

So here I sat at 3 a.m. making banana bread and a personal pizza for myself got to love this prednisone..
So around 9 I was really getting frustrated with everyone and decided it would probably be best to lay down be alone for a little bit. I actually fell asleep and slept until about 1 a.m. And now I’m up and a little bit lonely. I decided to make some banana bread for when everyone gets up and…

If you know, you know. And you only know if you've taken prednisone before. Omg, the love/hate relationship of #prednisoneproblems, right?? I took my first dose at 6am. Posted these pics and this text at 10am on Facebook, forgot to finish posting it here. It still feels same so, here it is, lol: M O O D I'm doing a high dose. 80mg. Omg. It's to try to get some relief on the torn discs on my back that are causing the sketchy nerve stuff down my leg, while I wait for a dr to see me. Big mess there. I start at 80mg, taper down, just 9 days tho, thankfully. On one side, yes, I'm excited. Prednisone always helps. And it'll help my rheumatoid too, as a bonus. Which is great because this weather got me flared like woah. But on the other side It's like F*CK PREDNISONE OMG YOU WANNA THROW HANDS? BECAUSE I'M ALREADY SO JACKED UP ON ADRENALINE AND ANXIETY I COULD FIGHT A BEAR AND REARRANGE MY LIVING ROOM BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I'M DIZZY AND GONNA THROW UP. Ugh. Trying to drink my coffee this morning but feeling like it might turn me into a freaking hummingbird and zip zip away. Bzzzzzz. Funny how there are meds you can take if you ARE bipolar and you want to treat it but then there's prednisone if you wanna like, take the bipolar feeling for a test drive, lol. Wooooo. And it's only been a few hours, man. I'm gonna feel like really powerful, energetic trash for a week, lol. Woo hoo! *I've lost 16lbs lately though, and 9 days "shouldn't" be long enough to gain weight on prednisone, but it turns me into a pufferfish so fast, man. Fingers crossed. ---- It's now 6pm here and I still hate it. But hopefully it'll work. I'm cautiously optimistic, as always. 🖤🖤🖤 #chronicallyill #butyoudontlooksick #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoidarthritis #spinalstenosis #bulgingdisc #herniateddisc #lumbarspine #prednisonesucks #spooniesupport #spoonieproblems #spoonielife #chronicillness #chronicillnesslife #chronicpain #invisibleillness #neuropathy #nervepain #laughsoyoudontcry #anxietybelike (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV3_vu_Pk9Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

My fellow #lupies can appreciate this: I have gone from 20mg of #prednisone all the way down to 5.5mg with no discernable side effects! I am confident I will be able to come of it completely in the coming weeks. ° ° I've been taking prednisone far too long and the most obvious outcome has been astronomical weight gain. I am the heaviest I have ever been...ever! And while you may think it (the 30 extra pounds) looks fine, good, whatever: I hate it! Forget about being #comfortableinmyskin. Pfft 😒 #honestyisthebestpolicy #handlines • • • 😎 ✌💜🌼 #prednisoneproblems #blackgirlmagic #kNOwlupus #microblog #chronicillness #humanexperience #humanvariability #latasharjonesblog #livingwithlupus #lupus #lupusisreal #narrative #creativenonfiction #nonfiction  #pointofview #SLE #spoonie #systemiclupuserythematsus #thisislupus #growapairofovaries (at North Carolina)

Taper.. ⚠️
Today once again is taper day.. Down again, to 25mg of Pred.
Why does one little change in medication have such an effect?! My mood, fatigue and general feeling changes with such a bang. I know this is temporary and it'll take a couple of days to come round, roll on then! Freedom from the Pred ✊🏻
