Membranous glomerulonephritis, round 2, week 22

Week 22:
Medication: 3mg immunosuppressants (Advagraf), 8mg corticosteroids (Medrol)  and other assorted goodies.

Caterpillar eyebrows. Facial hair aplenty,
but the hair on my arms and legs is gone.

If you've paid attention, you've seen that my medication has changed. After a couple of months with twice daily nauseating hang-overs, I was finally sent to a specialist who could change my medication into something less puke-able. I'm both pissed and overjoyed. Pissed because it took them this long to take my nausea seriously, and overjoyed because I'm no longer feeling like crap on toast. 
Yeay for me! (Big freakish smile)
I'm on sick-leave until the end of May, making it almost six months of staring on the same four walls. It's getting depressing, and even the promise of a new summer approaching isn't enough to lighten my mood. I'm soooo ready to get back to work, but I haven't been on the new meds long enough yet to evaluate what, if any, side effects they'll have. 
I'm still weak, and by now my back muscles are pretty much gone as well; Bending over to pick something up cramps my back. No gardening for me this year. (oh nooo.... hehehee)
So to summarize: No muscles nor fitness in sight, but finally feeling like a human beingDefinitely could be worse!

Sincerely,
