Well, I have decided on the Entyvio infusions and my first loading dose will be this Friday. I've got the first 3 scheduled and then it will be a lifetime of happiness every 8 weeks 😜.

I am feeling much better, seems the dreaded prednisone is working on the inflammation but I'm feeling a bit uneasy taking it. It's hard to explain but my breathing seems odd at times like I have to take in a quick breath and let out a sigh...I don't know, it's been years since I'd been on the stuff but it's almost like a deja Vu...I'm baaaaccckkkkk......lol



Now, for a few days a more serious issue seems to maybe have crept up. My vision is starting to become blurred and reading things close up is becoming a chore.

Ive never worn glasses but about 2 months ago I went for an exam and ended up with bifocals. I can pass an eye exam for driving and just did a week ago for a DOT physical...my "up close" has been getting worse which is why I decided to get them checked.

So, again, my eyes were already showing their age and reading was becoming more of a chore but until a few days ago weren't "that bad".

So, I have put in a call to my GI, just in case the stupid steroids can cause this???or maybe it's unrelated...but I seem to be having a hard time focusing...maybe feel pressure on my eyes, and up close has gotten much worse in just a few days???

So, fun stuff, lol, as I learn, I'll certainly update, as well as report back with my infusion success...it WILL be a success, lol, I just hate Prednisone...😥😥😥😥

Cheers!!!!!!
