Exhausted

One thing about Prednisone is that it builds up in your system, so when you are tapering off of Prednisone it can take a while for your body to notice the decrease in medication. I thought I had hit the low point of this current taper mid week but things have gotten progressively worse since Friday, both physically and mentally.

I was a little muddled at work on Friday (delayed responses and such), Saturday I was very tired and responded irrationally to a fair criticism my wife had of my behavior (ended up walking home), woke up Sunday very sore and already wiped out before the day even started. Today I have a Missionary couple coming to the church, which will be nice because they are doing the Sermon. Then we have a Potluck downstairs after the service so its going to be a long day.

At this point I am hoping for a week with more energy and rationality. I am also praying that my kids will be able to understand that this current version of Dad is not the "Real Dad". It makes me sad to think that this might become the new normal if I cant get off of Prednisone. 

P.S. I don't write this Blog because I need answers, need to keep people informed, or hope in someway to become famous. I write this blog because when its written it is no longer a burden to me.
