Beginning Phase Two of Recovery and Artistic Journey

I have been away from my blog for some time now. During the months of October, November and December of 2007, I went thru Phase One of my medical recovery. I withdrew from 20mg of hydrocortisone (steroid) down to 10mg. I am a post Cushings patient and I also have vertigo, so with each cut, i became more ill. This is a long complicated story so I will not try to go into it.
January 2008 thru May 2008, I took a break from the medical part and had some time to regroup, visit with my family, and prepare for the next phase.
I am now starting the last phase- Phase Two. I plan to go from 10mg cortef to -0-. I also plan to start 25mg zoloft which will help with the vertigo. In addition I will be taking Genatropin .02 Growth Hormone shots since my GH is low. This should all take a period of three months. I hope to be in a better place at that time.


I am going to try to start back in with my art. There is a strong chance of me being in a group showing in October, 2008 and this should push me along. I will have days of dizziness, sickness, nausea, and pain during this time, but we shall see what it is i can accomplish.


Today is my first day back. May 19th, 2008.
