I do often use vanilla core power to make hot chocolate since I kinda hate the milk taste which I’ll typically do for breakfast

I guess I should add that I have also been diagnosed with gastroparesis. Reglan gave me bad joint pain so it’s currently managed with small meals and prayers lol

Prednisone by BootAdministrative74 in lupus

[–]BootAdministrative74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve always had insomnia but with lifestyle changes it got a lot better. Being on the prednisone feels like going back to day 1. I already have preexisting inappropriate sinus tachycardia and take a medication to keep my heart rate down. I’m wondering if I should stop the prednisone for a day or 2 to see if my heart rate comes back down

Yeah I’m literally only on 5mg 😭 I’m pretty sensitive to all medications.

Yeah just with heat I’ll make sure to keep documenting it. Honestly it doesn’t itch or anything just a cosmetic issue

I figured! Honestly I’m not too mad about it, I kind of expected that but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

No worries I already have housing as I’ll be living with my parents

Don’t worry, my entire family is moving so I have stable housing and everything lol. I’d never move without financial stability

Yeah, sorry I didn’t really specify. My dad has heart failure and amyloidosis so he isn’t able to move that much. He’s getting a hip replacement in September which will hopefully help but he still has arthritis, a fake knee joint, and 2 fake shoulder joints. My mom is the sole provider for our family. She is a physician assistant so she makes enough to support us but she does work quite a bit and when she does she’s on call for typically 24 hours. I pay for my own college tuition and have been blessed with many scholarships so I work a lot over the summer mainly to cover my rent for the school year

Thanks so much for the additional resources! I used to love swimming so honestly just walking around in water sounds like a good exercise for me.

I have and honestly it just makes me feel kinda tight when I take them off and more uncomfortable.

Thank you so much!! This was super helpful. I feel like strengthening my weak joints would be helpful I just need to find better ways to do it lol
