corticosteroids are a type of hormone your body produces to HEAL. its what keeps you from swelling and feeling like youre being burned ALIVE. my body doesnt do this naturally anymore. I literally feel like im being burned alive 24/7. all my nerves are firing off the same way they would if you get a 2-3 degree burn. I finally have something to help that and its not only getting rid of 98% of my pain (so now I can experience the NORMAL aches and pains most other people cry over.) but its actually GOOD for ME personally because my body doesnt MAKE THESE hormones anymore, its the hormone replacement therapy I should have been on for years now. its what has made me a hermit and all but bed ridden and still unable to sleep regardless 24/7. I know I mentioned it already but the test phase is over now its just getting the replacement therapy once I see my doc in oct. but imagine this... im sure youve burned yourself before to the point of blistering at LEAST right? now imagine that feeling 24/7 OVER YOUR ENTIRE BODY FOR YEARS. THATS what has made me a hermit. that is whats made me useless (yes without the pain id still be sick and on borrowed time. I would still be crippled BUT I would be able to FEEL like everyone else does and be able to get some sleep, make a simple day of being out instead of all but chronically BED RIDDEN....... yes im SUPER HAPPY. its just a matter of holding out for November 1st now. I dont talk about this stuff much because I dont like to bring people down and the amount of pain im in is virtually (and metaphorically) the equivalent of being BURNED ALIVE 24/7. I FINALLY have TANGIBLE HOPE. and its something thats GOOD for ME (not other people. steroids are dangerous in high levels or if you like most people already have natural production but I DO NOT and we finally know!) so a simple little prednazone pill (remember corticosteroids are NOT anabolic. they seek to heal and reduce swelling not build muscle or anything else. theyre what your body produces naturally as part of the healing process. mine doesnt so this will be GOOD for me. it would be like replacing a mans testosterone if he had no testicles. it would actually BE GOOD for him not dangerous. this is my hope! I FINALLY have a light at the end of my tunnel!!!!!! so I will finally be able to be SOMEWHAT social again! I am all but bed ridden right now. I can use the computer but anything else takes UNBELIEVEABLE effort. with a simple LOW DOSE hormone replacement I can do all the things we take for granted again (well nto all. Im still VERY crippled but I have NORMAL pains, aches etc, NO ANXIETY and can MOVE. I mean normally I can play some guitar but thats about it. that and being online but even those were getting near impossible........ im so happy I will finally be MOBILE again... I may FINALLY be able to be in a BAND again! :D :D :D
