Today I am blaming the steroid medication for my swinging moods. Life, at the moment is a roller-coaster (and please do not refer to that bloody awful Ronan Keating song). I can go from extremely merry to ready to burst into tears at the flick of switch, apparently for no good reason.
Yesterday was not the greatest of days for a myriad of reasons which I won't go into, suffice to say I went to bed weepy in a big bubble of poor me/I'm rubbish.
This morning something which was meat to cheer me up did so, but for all the wrong reasons.
So, I shall enjoy the sedates up and throw my hands in the air and scream for the downs. I may add further attractions to my steroid theme park later. So far I've avoided becoming the bearded lady, but am making a strong running for the fattest!
All that said I wouldn't say I'm depressed and on that subject there's a great article here on the BBC websiteby Mary Kenny, on whether we have forgotten what it is to be sad, lonely and grieving.
Now get in line if you want a go on the merry-go-round....
Hey Beki. Sorry to hear the steroids are doing their worst. I called one of my own blog posts 'Life with colitis is a rollercoaster' for that very reason (and no association with that bloody awful song either!). Those little white pills are poisonous and evil, even if they are trying to make you better. I'm off them now but feeling very sorry for myself and down in the mouth after negative test results (yes, I know, I should be pleased I don't have ankylosing spondylitis, but at least that would mean a new and potentially effective treatment) and the prospect of 6 weeks until my next rheumatology appointment. I'd be delighted to join you on your merry-go-round of feeling rubbish and downhearted - is there a dragon I can sit on? x

Of course Jem, and if you don't feel too sick afterwards we'll have ice cream!
