The Fog of JOY

This was Christmas Eve. 

I had just come down with Sweets Syndrome again (first had in 2010).

I am managing it well considering. 

Last weekend I was on 100mg of steroids. 

Made me really physically unwell. 

Today I am down to 60.


I am learning to adapt pivot and see how blessed I am. And while on steroids.

Did I sleep at all last night? No. Sugar and prednisone. 

Will I sleep tonight. Should. Can take my every other night sleep med.

Am I resting today? Yes.

Do I need your prayers? 

YES PLEASE.

  1. Sweets syndrome sounds like an unpleasant condition to have. I hope the medication helps clear it up.

  3. Your church looks so very beautiful! Are they recommending you slowly taper off the prednisone? The 1st time I didn't, then 2nd time, did, and felt much better. I have a love/hate with sugar!

  4. Your home always looks so cozy! I'm happy that you can feel the joy of the season in spite of circumstances - that isn't always easy but God's strength carries us through all things.
    There is 'life after prednisone' so keep in perseverance. Prayers for blessings and peace.

  6. Prednisone is a blessing and a curse. Praying that you will be totally well soon.
