Therapy week by week; Week 3/OFF

This was the week they talked about = cold turkey-ing prednisone. Had some tenacious headaches, and some muscle aches, tiredness off and on. Rested as much as I could on Wednesday and Thursday. Cancelled Walker trip with Patty on Thursday. Cancelled lunch with Mom and Ginger on Friday. Sleep got better as week progressed. Severe headaches on Wednesday and Thursday.
