Side Effect #1 Numbness and Tingling Check! I feel like pins and needles and poking me in the face and sometimes my hands or my leg will go numb.
Side Effect #2 Fatigue Ummm...I wish! I was up at 5:30 this morning. My steriods keep me up until I take my sleeping pill at night and up early in the morning. Not feeling this one.
Side Effect #3 Taste Change Oh this is a sad day. I love my Mountain Dew. I love my Mountain Dew. No really, I love my Mountain Dew with my lunch. I crave it and watch the clock. I don't let myself have more than one a day and when the clock strikes 12, I get my glass and fill it with crushed ice and get my one can out of the pantry and pour it in my glass. Oh it is so good. Well Saturday, it didn't taste good and I was sure it was just a fluke. Then on Sunday it tasted horrible...oh it is a sad, sad day.
Side Effect #4 Weight Loss OK...Again with the Steroids weight gain is a negative side effect so let's cross our fingers...
Side Effect #5 Difficulty with concentration/attention and difficulty with memory "Has anyone seen my checkbook?
Did I take my pill or not? What was I talking about? I don't think I should be driving." Yesterday I stop to buy some material and it was minke. I get out to my car and lay it on my seat and think to myself "geez, that's messy, why didn't they give me a bag? MAYBE BECAUSE I DIDN'T PAY FOR IT!!!!" "AHHHH!!!!"
One more side effect that wasn't on the 'official' list, is clumsiness. I'm walking down my stairs on Sunday morning all dressed up ready for church and step off the side of my stairs and those of you who know my stairs, know how they drop off on the last three steps, well, I just fall right on my knees like a clutz right in front of my BIL and SIL and tried not to cry so all I could do was laugh but my knees tell a different story.

Oh you poor thing!!! It's so embarrassing when you fall/steal material!! I'm glad you're feeling better??!!! I guess we have to take the good with the bad, eh? Hope it all works. Not fun to deal with, though!
Oh, Lataun, your poor knees--and as for the material---maybe if you get your material and Lex gets his gas on the same day, maybe you can keep each other company in the local jail---HA!!! What is happening to our family.:)
Oh Taun! Your poor knees! I can't believe you held your cool and just laughed. I'm glad that you're starting to feel better, even though some of the side effects cause ya to be a little loopy.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this post. I think I'll do both. Good job at keeping your sense of humor.
I've said it once, but I will say it again: My favorite quote is from the movie Steel Magnolias, said by Dolly Parton,"Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion." I shoould vinyl that for you. You are awesome, hang in there!! XOXO, Selina
Oh, good job on stealing fabric. Bella likes to steal from Deseret Book....
Lataun, I feel for you! I now all about side efffects and meds; do you feel just out of control of your own body?! I was taking sleeping pills and a couple of anti-anxiety meds along with my usual migraine crap and one point, and after hallucinating on top of all the other craziness, I had to change something!! I thought I was nuts. Okay, we all know I am...
Oh, that's pretty sad...especially about the mountain dew...that's tragic. You better give me the name of that drug so that I can let Cash know! Or maybe not... ;)
Hope you get back to your old self soon!
Oh Lataun! I was like your mom...finding myself laughing, then feeling bad that I was laughing. I hope things get better soon!
