CAREN
I DO NOT HAVE EBSTEIN-BARR VIRUS, BUT I DO HAVE SEVERAL AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. ONE OF WHICH I WAS PUT ONTO PREDNISONE (60MGS) FOR. I HAVE BEEN ON PREDNISONE FOR OVER 3 YEARS. PREDNISONE OF COURSE HAS PUT 60 LBS ON ME. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO LOSING MY HUSBAND. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF AS I AM STILL ON PREDNISONE AND SEVERAL OTHER MEDS THAT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN. NON OF THIS IS MY FAULT AND I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF BEING ACCUSED OF JUST NOT CARING ABOUT MY WEIGHT AND BEING TOLD I AM EMBARASING TO BE WITH AND THAT HE CAN NOT LOVE ME THIS WAY!!! I STARTED FEELING THAT I JUST WANTED TO BE ALONE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF ONLY AND NOT TO HAVE TO WAIT ON MY SELFISH HUSBAND! I STILL FEEL THIS WAY. THEREFORE, MY ATTITUDE HAS CHANGED AND HE CAN SEE IT. SUDDENLY HE IS BEING BETTER. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL LAST, BUT LETTING HIM KNOW MY LIFE WILL GO ON WITH OR WITHOUT HIM HAS MADE HIM STOP AND THINK. HOPE YOU CAN GIVE THIS A TRY. I HATE TO SEE ANYONE LIVE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING AND MISTREATMENT. I ALSO POST ARTICLES I PRINTED OFF THE INTERNET ABOUT MY DISEASES ON TO THE FRIDGE FOR ALL TO SEE AND READ! FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME
