When W started her treatment she was taking Prednisolone and Imuran and a whole host of other drugs to counteract their side effects, at one stage she was taking about 8 different drugs (about 15 tablets daily). At the moment she is tapering off the drugs and only takes one 3mg tablet of Prednisolone,a very low dose, less than what the body produces naturally.
No her mood swings are still those of someone who is used to getting their own way all the time, and someone who always wants to be in control of a relationship.
Hey, but we are both getting better a dealing with things, yes even W.
Man, I tell ya, these doctors can sure pour on the meds, can't they? Well, I hope it helps her. Sometimes you wonder if the cure is worse that what ales ya.
I think I told you this once before so I won't dwell on it, but she sure reminds me of my H's niece that was spoiled rotten growing up and that is how she acts to get her way. She screams at everyone. After she got about 4 grandchildren, it did not look any more attractive than it did when she was 12! I guess it never stops for some people. You would think they could see, but apparently not. Lord....bless ya, I don't know how you do it.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
W b/f called me today mainly cos I've avoided her for a long while, when I used to talk to her I always ended coming away feeling a little bit upset cos she'd offer me tit bits of information but not always the whole deal or not what I wanted to hear. Anyway we just chatted in general terms, talked a bit about how W and I were doing. She says W talks about me in very positive terms, but still holds on to a small negative, which is she still thinks I snoop on her cell phone.
I am a little bit disappointed with that cos I've not touched the phone since Dec 28th (yes I know the exact date). I also know W leaves the phone in temptations way to see if I do snoop, but I just ignore the phone (it no longer calls out to me). Cell phones are a vault of information but if W was up to anything I wouldn't need to look at her phone, my instincts would tell me I've learnt to trust my instincts. Anyway we talked a bit more and we actually talked about how W is still a spoilt brat (sorry spoilt 44 year old woman) used to always getting her own way all the time.
Anyway W and I are doing fine (until her next out burst) our social calendar is full and she talks a lot in terms of us doing family things together.
So things are peaceful for now.

PS Sandi the Meds have done their job, without them W would be in a very serious state, maybe even not with us.
It's alright to have your doubts, SIL says the same thing to me as well, but I have that sitch under control.
It's funny cos W and b/f are Taureans born 2 days apart and they swear they are twins so much like each other (not). I would say more like W wants to be like b/f opently sleezy and trampy, and b/f wants to be like W, viewed by everyone as prim and proper but with a bit of sleeze hidden underneath. They make an interesting combination W always bitches about b/f to me but when they are on the phone ahhh.. lovey dove best friends. As always W dominates that friendship, the worse I've heard b/f call W is a spoilt brat W says all sorts about b/f.
SIL put it to me from a woman's perspective and said since I've being doing the DB I've have become a very interesting character that any woman would become interested in, that may be the case with b/f. So there it is K were your doubts the same ?
Life goes on, life is still a rollercoaster albeit a much gentler one (I'm quoting John210 here).
Hey John,
I nudged W this morning and she responded, I think that was a first. However things were cut short cos D6 walked in on us. She didn't look to pleased at what she saw, thank fully there were no embarrassing question, but that's the risk you run when you are morning people with kids.
On the euro front I'm gutted the Dutch have gone out, but it looks like they peaked too soon in the group stages. Things look open now for the Italians (grrr) or the Germans (boo), the football they play is not easy on the eye, but they both just get the job done.
D6: Mummy, why did you and Daddy have no clothes on ? W: It was very hot in our room. D6: Why was Daddy spread out on top of you ? W: Oh he was trying to give me a big hug D6: Huh (storms off in a strop).
