Sorry to hear about how bad things are going - I've been keeping up with your posts but I finally wanted to make sure I responded to you. It's the worst thing to be sick and no one can figure out what the problem is.
You seem amazingly positive though! I don't know how you do it.
While I was reading this post though I had some thoughts, though maybe it has nothing to do with anything...but my friend who has been on steroids (she had leukemia and is now in remission) has been being brought off of them for some time now after being on like 30mg. And I know that every time she was lowered on the dosage it made her really sick (throwing up, everything). Could that maybe be part of why you aren't feeling good? I really have no idea, but when you mentioned steroids I just remember what an awful time she had and still is having with them. And she's also discovering all these other aches and pains and rashes and things that apparently the steroids mask and now that she's coming off them, all these problems start popping out. Again, this could have no relevance to you, but it just made me think.
Well I really hope that things start looking up for you soon. What a way to lose weight! And sorry to hear about your kitty too...how are the dogs doing though?
Gosh I feel so out of the loop around here lately! Take care and keep us posted - you're in my thoughts!!
