Sounds like the midnight dessert buffet should be a Dis meet!!!
Karen -- the way I look at it is anything that makes me feel better (mentally or physically) can only make me a better mom and wife. It's hard to take care of everyone else when you're not feeling well. The days when I'm feeling sore and fatigued I am definitely in a different mental state of mind, and I am irritable and not much fun to be around for DH or the DDs. In fact, when I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago he gave me a steroid shot to reduce the swelling in my joints, and WOW did I feel GREAT all the way around for a whole week afterward! So if the immune-suppressant drugs have a positive effect on my physical and mental health and makes my everyday life better, then to me the benefits far outweigh the risks.
For what it's worth, I think that you should do whatever makes you feel best.
