sorry about my absence, and regarding the awards

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i was placed on a new steroid called prednisone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prednisone

which has one particularly fun side effect:

It can also cause depression or depressive symptoms and anxiety in some individuals.[14][15]

so my budesonide-induced mildly manic episode came to an abrupt end and now i'm in a new phase of absolute misery lol

it doesn't help that i ended up in the hospital for nine days with a c. diff infection at the same time

(warning: gross image)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_difficile_infection

so my last few weeks have been especially hectic

prednisone also causes insomnia, and in my brief winks of sleep i was having literal nightmares about whether i'd ever finish the awards lol

they are of course a little delayed as a result of all this, but they will proceed as normal, and i see hiro's got things under control

basically all that's left is getting the results to the videographers

we'll get that wrapped up after i've taken a sleeping pill and nap, i haven't slept properly in days

My oma was on prednisone.  Shit is wicked awful when the docs are trying to get you off it too

[Kalahari Inkantation]

that should be fun

luckily i'll only be on it for 30 days but ugh god

[YPrrrr]

Tec stop dying please 

[Thyme]

lol i was put on prednisone at first for a couple of weeks when i first got my U.C. diagnostic, along with the other meds i still take

and then had to retake it again when i had a relapse a few months later

i don't remember any side effects luckily, tho i may have confused meds-induced depression with "i'm still shitting all of my blood " depression

but damn get well dude, i hope these new meds will work for you
