Uggghhh! These side effects!

It is Sunday and I have already had two of my three IV steroid infusions. I have one more tomorrow and then I will be finished with that at least until my next visit in three weeks. I had spoken with other MS patients who gave me many different side effects from the infusions. For me however, I have been lucky for the most part I have not been too horribly moody, but even though my body is aching and I am so tired, I feel like I have to be up doing something constantly! The house is completely straight because of that. I am having trouble with fluid retention and I am hoping that will go away quickly. For those of you who know me well, you know that I eat a fairly healthy diet. I am trying hard to stick to that because extreme hunger is another side effect. I don't want to put on any extra pounds in addition to the water weight! I am also experiencing some pretty severe headaches. I am still trying to smile through this and I am looking forward to coming off of fall break this week and getting back into my routine. I miss my classroom as it keeps my mind busy and off of the fight.
