Title: Help Needed
Post by Brian_Y on Dec 30th, 2003, 10:52am
I have begun a steroid regimen this morning to thwart these nasty little late night (or, if the mood strikes it, daytime) assclowns we affectionately have called CHs.

I am having trouble deciding on what BEST to do with my time while under the influence of steroids.  Or, in some cases, what will HAPPEN to me...

I'll list a few things I'm considering, but if you'd like to help me that would be MOST appreciated.  You can vote for one I've listed here or you can add your own.

It'll be like origami, but with bones and a soul.


1.  On or around day 3, I am going to clean my house.  And my neighbor's house.  And his neighbor's house.  And so on.  I will then rake every leaf of every yard in my neighborhood.  I will wipe the sweat from my brow muttering nasty things about the working class.

2.  I will add a new wing on to Stately York Manor.  Using wood I've procured myself from a forest down the road.

3.  On or around day 3, I'll come to work and have charts and graphs and laser pointers to prove that using Labrador Retrievers will help us save TONS of money each year.  I will be escorted from the building screaming "Don't order the swordfish!!!!!"

4.  I will spew vitriolic nonsense on this message board, once again proving that it is unwise to be nice to me.  I am an unaffectionate bastard.  And full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

5.  I will spend money on new clothes like a manic depressive on crack.  Brooks Brothers will smile wryly admitting that they have no corporate policy against allowing one man to run a $5000 credit limit to the max within 2 hours.  I will return the cashmere sweaters upon receipt cursing the Peruvian lambs sacrificed in their creation.  Goddamn you and your Peruvian Lambs, I'll write.  Form Replies waiting in the wings.  Banks cringe with ecstasy and horror.

6.  On or around Day 6, I'll begin the crash.  I will weep incessantly for the lost youth, the damned CHs which have reduced me to a sputtering, nonsensical puddle of emotional gibberish.  I'll cry, uncontrollably, at some random GEICO commercial.  Poor little Gecko!!!  Where's your fucking PETA now, you nazi hordes?

7.  On or around Day 8, the depression will set in.  That dark and mesmerizing depression.  Futility.  Loss.  Despair.  Ice Cream.

8.  On or around Day 9, I'll scream non-stop at the New York Yankees' web site.  No one will hear me. "Just you wait for us this year, you crazy bolt necked goons!!!!"  

9.  On or around Day 10, the lack of sleep and reason will begin to REALLY take hold.  I'll begin by asking John Ritter if a threesome with Crissy and Janet was good, bad, or indifferent.  He'll ask me to get him some water.  Seltzer water.  Goddamned movie stars.

10....

Peter O' Toole is a fine actor.

"Take no prisoners!!!  Take no prisoners!!!!!"

Seriously, you may not wanna be you for awhile, but this cycle has been awful......I say tape everything you say and do for the time you are doing this burst......and I really truly hope it breaks the cycle for ya, man!

You, SUH, are a gentleman, and as such, you will do all you can in order to avoid turning into the Hulk. You know, all I can offer is a shoulder, and comic relief, but it's available, anytime you need it.......

Immediately go to the "Big & Tall" mans store and buy some extra big shirts. If not, ur gonna ripp'em to shreds when that HULK feeling hits ya!

2nd thing ya need to do is repeat to yourself over and over...."I am not Lyle Alzado, I am not Lyle Alzado,I am not Lyle Alzado," That way you wont wake up in the hospital with your brains beat in by someone who really is Lyle Alzado!

and last but not least....Lock the door and swallow the key! Maybe someone will find you before you have to do a toilet check!

Patrick, who has already done the steroid thingy!  :)

I have done the steroid regime Mr York.
My faced ended up looking like a hampster storing food for the winter. I used to call my friends while I was eating just to tell them how good it was.... ::)
It did however stop the "bastard" while I was beggining my verapamil regime.
Good Luck Brian.
You crack me up

Wish you good luck on the Prednisone....

I started a taper 112 days ago........been pf since the first day.  I did have some effects from it, but nothing that was earth shattering.  A bit of nervousness when it got in my system.  Then at the end of the taper....after I had completed it, the next day I had what I consider to be an anxiety attack.  Felt really jumpy, nervous, upset stomach, etc.  Maybe it won't affect you the same.

It was well worth it for me......for some, after they finish the taper, the ha's return.  Not to say they will NEVER return.........but so far, so good for me.

Hope you have as good a result as I did.

PF vibes,

Jean

Bri, some good advise while YOU are on steriods...stay the hell away from work...I dont think they can handle you.  [smiley=laugh.gif]nancyc

Post by fubar on Dec 31st, 2003, 1:58am
Is this a common reaction to the steriods?  I didn't feel a thing.  Nothing at all.  No physical things I could attribute to the Prednisone, and no mood swings that I noticed, or that anybody mentioned to me.  How common is this?

Title: Re: Help NeededI gained somw weight

I cleaned alot and I ate anything that didn't move.  Which was actually kinda fun.  You can always use the excuse, I am on steroids so I am constantly hungry.  That helps when you have eaten a whole cheesecake and you only weigh 120 lbs.  People thought I was wacko eating like that.  

Why are we talking about Peter O'Toole?

Post by Jayne on Dec 31st, 2003, 9:37am
My old boss loved it when I was on steroids..he said "you are doing the work of three people....erm....how long are you going to be on that stuff?"
He was very sad when I finaly came off them, nor did he offer me a pay rise for the extra work that I acomplished. ;;D

Title: Re: Help Needed
Post by Brian_Y on Dec 31st, 2003, 9:44am
He offered you a pay RISE?

OK, trivia question, mes amis:

Who here is British?

I asked my doc to give my wife an Rx of valium when I was taking prednisone. Luckily for me, she shared.

Hey Paigelle...I"ll bring the cheesecake.

Prednisone gives me a weeks long case of PMS from hell! I turn into a snarling beast and to top it of, my face swells. Which actually makes me look the part.
If my fucking neuro ever gets back to his office, from what I am sure was a lovely PAIN FREE vacation...I will get my meds and start a taper.

Christine
