COULD THIS BE WHY I FEEL SO GREAT..
In our Post published this past Wednesday January the 8th..
I questioned WHY AM I SUDDENLY FEELING SO GOOD?..
Why, after several years of dealing with Long covid-19, suddenly, I am feeling better than I have felt since December the 11th 2019. I am feeling better than I could have dreamt in my wildest dreams for the last four plus years.
I had, in fact, “given up hope” that I would ever again in this lifetime “feel really great”.
What changed?
I contacted RSV.

Then our great friend Kleiner Bär submitted the below comment to our January 8th Post..
Thanks to Gullible’s question and your reply I may be able to shed some light on your mystery. Prednisone is a corticosteroid (strong anti-inflammatory medication). One of the (many) possible side effects of corticosteroids is that they can be mood altering. Apparently, short-term treatment can induce euphoria in some people and long-term treatment is more likely to have the opposite effect. Didn’t they give you a patient leaflet with your medications? Or a QR code to look them up online?
I replied..
Wow Kleiner Bär what an absolutely, positively, amazing comment. What interesting insights. Thanks so very, VERY, MUCH for sharing your professional wisdom with me.
Yes of course (they are probably legally required to do so) as both of us were discharged from the E.R., we both were given a fair number of pages of information. There is NO way any non professional “Lay Person” can read all of the fine print and absorb all of the information given them on discharge. If one does they will forever be frightened to take any prescriptions. Even basic Aspirin has a long list of side effects. I don’t know how to “Do QR codes”.
I’ll happily take “euphoria” Kleiner Bär after several years of long covid-19 depression. Cap

THE HOLIDAYS RETURN..
“They” (President Biden) slipped another “holiday” into the middle of another week just when I thought we were “100% back to normal” after the holidays.
I went to the post office yesterday afternoon and it was shut tight because yesterday was a Federal Holiday in honor of President Carter who recently passed away. So too were several other venues that honor Federal Holidays.
Now here I am, it’s Friday, and to me it is Sunday following yesterday’s (Saturday) holiday and I am just a tad off-balance for reasons that make no sense whatsoever to me.
Onward!

I slipped in another Post yesterday (January the 9th Part 2 of 2) that many (all?) of you may not have seen nor read.

Today is the second day of the four day Havasu Balloon Festival.
I still don’t have any details of what I will be doing tomorrow Saturday.
Will the Balloons be flying today? Does The Shadow Know?
I plan to publish an update as today unfolds.

Hahahahah! You’re on Uppers!
No. Not the case at all Gullible. Yes! I know you are kidding around with me but I want to make clear that my use of prednisone was for only five (5) days from Monday December 23rd to Friday December 27th. I am not feeling anything even vaguely approaching a “high on uppers”. If someone is “high on uppers” they must keep taking the substance. You don’t take it five days and then stop taking it. What I am feeling is physical (not just mentally or emotionally) relief from the long covid-19 depression fatigue. I just feel physically very pleasant with great energy. Smiling Cap
