Here's an update! I've been reducing steriods now for awhile and I am LOVING IT!!! The "chipmunk cheeks" are slowly going down, but of course, with reducing steriods, there are some side affects. Sometimes, my emotions are out of control, why, just the other day on a long trail ride to the Green River, I had a panic attack which I haven't had for years and its very rare for me! And I'm also feeling VERY tired, even when I haven't done that much a certain day.
Horses and my puppy are a big part of recovering, but also it's just keeping my spirits up knowing I'm getting better. Between summer shows, horse camp and cook-outs at friends and sleepovers and just having fun I've barely had time to concern myself with my health or indulge in my OCD!!!! (Sometimes it does return, but it's not nearly as bad as it USED TO BE!!!)
I'm in a better place now. I'm happy to say I think my health is finally turning out to be predictable!!! :)
Here's to a better, healthy future!!! :)
I'll write later!!!!! :) (Promise)
