  1. Rather large mixed bag. Just dropping by to say 'Hello' and hoping symptoms settl(ed)(ing) and life as normal as possible. What is epilepticus? This may be one of the few symptoms I have not experienced. Take care. Big Smiles.

    1. TX re. epilepticus. Re. relapse. Don't know what relapse means 4U but know the feeling of bewilderment wasteland. Then, thankfully, it all gets restabilized. U got good pillbox to track meds? Me so fussy. If my med times off, things start 2 get scrambled. Take care. Big Smiles.

  5. Hi, How are things? Still steroid responsive but this latest bout has taken a while longer to reduce in symptoms. Still working at it. It has re-emerged twice this year already.

  6. As my endocrinologist says, 'Thank goodness UR steroid responsive.' Then I remind, yah, but there's the side effects of Prednisone to grapple with...LOL Yes episodes of relapse and remission can become quite wearying cycles. Am doing not too badly. Sleep has been less disjunctured past 2 months and feel better when not suffering from sleep deprivation. OK nuff 'bout me. Gr8 2C a response. Big Smiles

  8. Hi there, hoping UR well as can be. I have been having some increase in ANTITPO after some rather good runs of reduction and decrease. This is making me more scattered than usual but self-care not an issue - although it can be a challenge. Hoping you are well as can be. Take care.

  9. Sorry to hear about the antibody increase. Here the reduction has been stopped for 6months to stop the good/bad seesaw. Things seem to have settled quite well ...so far.
