As stated in the last post, I attended a workshop Monday-Wednesday. I was SO tired after it was all over. I had a treatment yesterday (Thursday) and my doctor took me off the steroid since it didn't really help during my three day workshop. It's also causing me to gain weight and my face is breaking out. I haven't had such a problem with acne since I was in high school! So, to help with the extreme fatigue, she put me on adderall. We usually think of adderall as the medicine prescribed to children with ADHD, but it affects adults without ADHD in just the opposite manner. It calms the children, while it gives the adults extra energy. I took my first dose today. I woke up this morning EXTREMELY tired from the treatment yesterday and took one. I have had more energy than usual after a treatment so maybe it's working.
I go back to school to begin the new year Monday. I have so many mixed emotions about it. It scares me because I never know how working is going to affect me, but I'm also quite thankful that I can still work. I know. I shouldn't be scared. God is in control and He is taking care of me. He is SO faithful. I just cannot even begin to understand the love He has for me. I love to watch birds. They always remind me of how He watches and cares for them, but oh how He watches and cares for me so much more! As Matthew 6:26 says, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
