Proof of life.
It's been one week stuck in bed with this flare up. It started with my back, but has morphed into a full body flare up with swollen knees and hands, uncontrolled dysautonomia, MCAS symptoms, migraines, and lots of steroid induced mania.
I may be back a bit rounder, with less hair, a few more blemishes on my skin, and maybe some prednisone powered rage when I taper, but things are looking up and I'm looking forward to being back on my feet soon.
These wild phases make me so grateful for things that usually feel "ordinary" - especially impromptu dance parties, seeing house projects come together, great books, and the extra love and care that Chris always manages to bring to our family when I can't.
Talk soon. xo
