Well first of all thank you all for the encouragement and advice. This is all scary for me as all I ever wanted to do is fly tacticly (blow crap up). Well I have now been grounded for six months although they did give me an 18 hour up chit for a training mission so I could show someone else how to do something. I had to come off all my meds for a week (man was I sore that week). Anyways yesterday was another visit to my rheumie. Lets just say it did not go as well. Bad news is I could not talk him out of keeping me on prednisone, good news is I'm now down to 2.5 mg (half a pill) of prednisone. He is keeping my meth (everytime i say im on meth it just sounds bad lol) at the same dose which is 24 mg once a week and started me on 200mg of hydroxychloroquine (has anyone ever taken this before). The joke around the squadron right now is that im a cancer and malaria patient. One of my friends said today " You could make some bank when we go to central america". Well my spirits have been up most likely because my wife gets home from deployment in 5 days but I have noticed at work I have some mood swings towards some co-workers. Does anyone have that problem too? Well everyone thanks for letting me rant on I will now cut this short and I promise to do a better job respond to your comments. Thanks again for the support.
