It's hell getting old. A couple of weeks ago I went to the dermatologist about a rash that I'd had on my hands for 4-5 weeks. The first trip resulted in a cortisone shot that did nothing but keep me awake for 2 days. The second trip a week later, resulted in 20 days of prednisone and some really expensive hand foam. A couple of days into the prednisone and the rash was gone. By the way, the dermatologist said the rash was allergy related (not contact allergens but inhaled allergens). Well, here it is 4 days left on the prednisone and the rash is back. AARGH!
Also, last Friday I started having some eye troubles and just assumed that it was a side-effect of the prednisone. Well, it continued to get worse this week. So, yesterday afternoon I went to the urgent care at my doctor's office. What is it? I have not one, but two pink eyes! I don't recall ever having pink eye as a kid. Oh well! Now, I'm on an eye antibiotic. Oh yeah! The doctor said that the prednisone has pretty much killed my immune system so I'm susceptible to all kinds of good things. UGH!
Vent over...
PS If you look at my eyes in the before/after pictures, you'll see the pink eye! GROSS!!
