Day 6, Same Old

Looking back at my blog from 2 weeks ago is like a total repeat. As soon as I get off the steroid the joint pain ramps way up again. Only modification is that this time I quit the steroid a day early due to my sour stomach and wanting to get a good nights sleep. Fortunately the kids are back in school and I have more rest/quiet time. If like last time, by day 9 or 10 the bone pain will die down a bit and I should feel better for the weekend. Right now I just cringe at the thought of anyone touching me, though I do still muscle through Nash's morning "family hug" request before school.
