Interesting development

So for as long as I've had my pain, steroids of any kind have done...well...nothing.

So a few weeks ago I developed pitiriusis rosea, a viral infection like chicken pox that covers your body in a massive amount of ringworm like circles, but goes away on its own and you'll never get it again. Anyway, to help combat the unpleasant leprosy-looking skin issues they gave me a rather humongous dose of steroid, injected into my poor bum....

Well don't you know those two weeks were the most pain free I've had since... well since I was born.

Now, the problem here is that long term steroids gave me diabetes. I've never had a good reaction to them and they never helped before. That one must have been a fluke or something right? However I can't return to constantly taking steroids, they'll put me in ketoacidosis or turn me into a big green rage monster....or worse

But I'm craving those few days where I woke up and didn't immediately reach for my medicine. Where I didn't feel like my neck, back, and arms were constantly being electrocuted and burned. Oh what a life I could have if I felt like that all the time.

But what am I to do? It doesn't make sense how they never helped before, yet now they magically do, and long term is NOT an option. Ever. I won't trade one disease for worse.

This also leads me to speculate that the problems are almost entirely based on muscular inflammation compressing everything. CT scan of my neck showed massive inflammation too, and yet all the combinations of anti-inflammatory medicines can't seem to calm it down.

I am perplexed on many fronts
