Hi @Niffler75 -
Woke up to normal blood glucose, as is usual for me in the morning before I take the daily dose of steroids. Took my prednisone and uuuuup it goes. It will come down as it wears off, somewhere between 16 and 22 hours. BP, I'm assuming, is normal as always. CRP is high.
Seeing cardiologist tomorrow to discuss all of this, and having the ultrasound on the narrowing of one of my carotids to see if it's actually a thing, or just a glitch in the CTA scan. Fingers crossed for a glitch.
Weight has been stable for a couple of weeks now - but that's while eating about 1200 calories a day; if you don't want to gain weight while on prednisone, 1200 calories is the new normal. Can't tell you how much I want to eat CAKE! Birthday in 3 weeks and 'no cake' seems like a complete misery. Thinking I might sneak a piece anyway....
There are NO decent cake shops around here. Wondering if I can get a cupcake shipped to me from Georgetown Cupcakes in downtown Boston....
@mrs-b you definitely need cake. Are you at home now? I can find you a decent one on the Internet. Outside of the fact you aren't supposed to eat cake at all (it seems) do you have dietary restrictions? Actually when I used to send people on Pricescope cakes, I used to talk to them via e-mail first. Bayek,and missy have my e-mail address. If you have either of theirs, get in touch with one of them and let her know it is OK to send me your e-mail address. Then I can find out what you like and where to send it.
