Steriod hangover

November 16 - 17: The steroids given to protect the blood cell count have a profound effect. Even though I've been tapering down on the steroids from day five to day nine, the residual amounts are mood altering. Increased appetite, the jitters and not feeling like I'm the same person from time to time are just some of the things I'm experiencing. Staying asleep at night has improved with an additional dose of Lorazepam. The ringing in the ears is now non-stop. I've determined this would be a good torture treatment. Still, in general, I am feeling really good.
