Dex = ADHD

OMG! The steroid I am on is called Dexamethazone. Dex for short. It is hell! (To put this in perspective...normal dose is 4 mg/day...I am on 40 mgs/day!) I feel so jittery and tired all at the same time...shaky and no attention span...ants in my pants...bats in the belfry! As a self-proclaimed control freak this is pure torture for me. I can't stand it!!

Last night I went to bed at 10:30...bone weary...but could not sleep. Got up, did some jigsaw puzzling, some facebooking, some candy crushing, some Angry Birds...more puzzling, surfed the net, looked at my trip pictures -- yup all 1000 of them...went back to bed and tossed and turned until I got up at 7:20.

Hands are shaking, head is all abuzz...OMG! This is day 4 of 4 on and tomorrow I start my 4 days off. Al says it'll probably take 4 days to detox...FML! LOL!

Can't even go for a walk around the block because the street is an ice-rink. Just gotta keep hopping from one task to another in my 10 minute attention span intervals.

Guess it's better than being sick to my stomach!

Hang in there! Try and think of it as an opportunity to better understand other people and their lifestyles - or prepping for your next movie role!
Seriously rooting for you!
