My leukemia's back.

I always have slept kinda in an upright position since my botched neck fusion about 8 years ago, LG. Tums are helping the intense heartburn...I just nibble them into almost a powder.

BUT I ate almost 1/4 cup of chicken nooooooodle soup this afternoon, noooooodles and all! No chicken, but did get the soup down by mashing the noooooodles. (eww) Now we wait to see if it goes the rest of the way.....GO ME!
From what I read about prednisone dysphagia, that is what you had and you should recover quickly now that you are off of predinsone.
 
My Dad had Multiple Sclerosis and was on Prednizone quite often. It is powerful stuff with lots of side effects. It worked for him when in an active phase of illness.

Most side effects go away quickly. Organ damage is a real danger though.

Well, that was a short best friendship! :lau

Yay Blooie. YOu're on a roll. I predict that you will make a rapid recovery now. did they taper you off the Pred, or did they have you go cold turkey?

I just quit. Done. No more. Ever again. And when I have my followup with my primary tomorrow morning I'd planned to give him a piece of my mind. But I decided just to discuss what happened instead......I own part of this because I KNEW Prednisone was a bad idea and didn't hold firm against it. I could have said "no"....I didn't. That's totally on me. Gonna try some buttered toast this morning, with the crust (my favorite part) cut off. Wish me luck!
