Hanging in there, thanks for asking. My chest is still very tight but the coughing has stopped, which makes the headache MUCH better! Tomorrow I start stepping down the prednisone and I'll be glad to do this. I've had a few very strange side effects; doctor's not worried, but it's odd. Slight dizziness and blurred vision (among other things) is making it difficult to grade the lab reports that I need to have done by Tuesday morning. Yes, I'm staying home, but still working, doing what I can. I feel like a hypochondriac, whining about being sick!
