Feeling Euphoric Today!

Today, I am experiancing an intense state of happiness...don't know why.

My pain level hasn't gone down any. I woke up extremely happy, and I feel like I have fallen in love with my hubby allover again. I really am experiancing a heightened sense of euphoria. How can I get this to last?

I believe people who have chronic pain are more apt to ride the emotional rollercoaster. This is certainally not the life I planned for myself...but it is the one I got. Accepting and dealing with it is always an ongoing process for me. I try to work on having a good day everyday...however my efforts will produce differant results. Maybe I expect too much...I know it is not realistic to be happy all the time....but it sure would be nice!

Hoping you all a wonderful day too!

Hugs, Robin

 

Thanks Denise...we all deserve to be happy!!!

I think I discovered what is causing this intense feeling and believe me it's intense...like electric happiness :)

My curiosity was peaking...this feeling so strange...so I googled Prednisone and euphoria and wouldn't you know it, all this info comes up on it. I'm on a high dose and been on it for almost 3 wks.
It isn't uncommon to feel euphoria taking prednisone, others can feel just the opposite on it...so I guess I'm lucky...don't know how long this feeling will last but it is heavenly.

I've been on prednisone in the past and never experianced this.
The bad thing about it is my new moon face and a weight gain of 10 lbs.

awwhhh the ole moon face! When I first got sick back in 2008, my rhuemy had me on a dose of 40 mg pred a day!! now I'm on 5 or up to 15 a day..I self manage acoording to my pain..every time I try to come completely off...it is not pretty! pain is off the charts...so I will probably be on it forever!

on a different note I did start SAvella yesterday. My psych. said to watch for high fever and severe cramping in the first couple of days..so far none of that, but I have noticed a knot in my throat. just feels like something small is stuck in my throat..doesn't hurt..I am also on Cymbalta 60mg with no side effects from that...but the sad thing is I havent' noticed that big of a difference. I know it will take a while but like some of the other posts...you really can't tell if anything is working unless you stop taking it. They also changed my pain med to a time released morphine and percocet for break through pain...and I don't know if I'm just in a bad flare right now, but I cannot tell the difference or should I say relief....I don't want to be on this type of meds for the rest of my life....

Robin, I say enjoy the ride..we just never know which end of the roller coaster we will wake up on.....

gently hugs,

Jerrie
