well, i'm graduated down to 20mg a day now :) this is exciting because one doctor told me that my swelling might start to go down once i'm on this dose. another said not until 10mg, but i'm voting for 20! yesterday was the first day that i thought maybe my face looked a little smaller. unfortunately, my abdomen is not...getting dressed is getting harder and harder. there are clothes strewn all over two bedrooms in my house as each morning i go through many different outfits trying to find something that fits. i now am out of all of my 8s, 10s, and medium t-shirts. also can't wear anything with an elastic/fitted sleeve because apparently, my arms got bigger too! my bras are tight, but they don't sell the size i need in stores...only on the internet. so frustrating...made me cry the other day! i went shopping AGAIN yesterday and got a few things in yet a bigger size. my boss also said i can wear scrubs to work so that will help.
i did lose 5 pounds overnight last night though...all through peeing! i was up every 30-60 minutes to do that though...not a good sleep last night. i finally just got up at 6 because i was so annoyed. lots of house projects to do though so the time will come in handy.
i see the new rheumatologist tomorrow...just to get a second opinion and to see what she has to offer as far as pregnancy advice. should be interesting. this is the last fact-finding mission of the summer. i'm hoping things just start to settle down now.

I still can't (and may never) believe that you pee that much in one night! You're a tough girl...you're also doing much better than I would! Can't wait to hear about the new doc...love second opinions! Oh, and YAYYYYY SCRUBS!!!
