Still feel terrible
No improvement and most likely worse. I went to bed about 9 last night and slept until 4 when I got up remedicate. I got to sleep in, read, and nap until I got up at 2pm. I'm still coughing and have a sore throat. I've read a lot of the Hitchhikers Guide today. I'm starting to think in guide-ese at an improbability factor of two to the power of four hundred thirty nine to one against. I'll write again tomorrow about how I'm doing.

I can't call it yet
I'm still not feeling well. A little cough and sore throat, still very tired. Now I cannot be sure of what my body is doing. Maybe I caught something. Maybe not. I'll let you know as time progresses, but for now I'm saying I'm ill. :)

A pattern is emerging
I've done a lot of maneuvering with my shot timing and one thing remains consistent... I feel terrible on Thursdays. Just right awful. Now I'll admit it is less now than when I was taking my shot at 5p.m. or so on Wed. nights and having to suffer through the nights with fevers and such, trying to take Ibuprofen by waking myself up. Now I am taking the shot early on Wed. morning and keeping my Ibuprofen levels up is a much easier task. That said, Thursday is still a bad day. So, I've come up with a theory.
It goes like this: No matter when I take the shot, and that being in my leg muscle, my body starts trying to absorb it. While I maintain the Ibuprofen to keep my fevers at bay, my body is doing well absorbing at whatever trickle rate it does. BUT when I go work out on Wed. night with Marsha my leg muscles do what I ask of them and keep me from falling all over the place but it gets the blood flowing 'faster' and changes my rate of absorption (or so I think) thereby making me ill the next day. Next week I'm going to take my shot on Thursday morning and see how I feel Friday. If all goes well, that may be the change I have really been looking for.

Stiff neck today
I must have slept funny last night. I can barely turn my head to the left. That is such a weird thing to have happen. I know it is common enough I would think everyone has suffered through it at least a few times. Just thought I'd mention it.
My neuro appt. got moved to April 22nd as my Neuro cancelled for my March 16th appt. No big deal as it is just a follow-up. I think I'll ask him about another round of steroids when I do get there. I would really like to do that again.
