She really is. She is definately the sort of person that would ask you for half of a loaf they bought you " selflessly" from the shop.

How dare she say she’s bullied. My idea of bullying and hers are two very different things. I’ve said it many a time before - if she was being bullied online or trolled, I think she would take screen shots and post them for maximum sympathy. Every. Single. Time. She chooses to read here and misconstrue what people say and pass it off as bullying and that’s wrong.

Honesty in all your affairs Jack. This constant passing yourself off as a superperson in recovery doesn’t wash with people when you’re not living your life the way you act you are.

She’s really getting to me today and I don’t know why.

Just thought if they were being given steroids intravenously to treat something like an infection/illness rather than say joint pain. But then again that usually only happens when you are rushed to hospital with something life threatening, not booked in for scans, etc. As a major steroid user they are fucking ace! But if they are on steroids then they will be eating all the stuff they’ve erm baked in the roasted veg tin as it plays havoc with your appetite.
ETA pronouns again!

Won't she get all puffy too, my dad was always really slender, yet when he got steroids to treat his cancer he ballooned especially around the face.

You can get IV steroids prior to chemo ( anti sickness effect) and then continue with oral medication once home for 2-3 days
however I don't believe for one minute that Jack is having chemo as we'd had seen / heard some evidence of ouchy cannulation / side effects

I don't get that eat all the food thing after mine - I'm more 'thank fuck it's not hurting anymore'. I don't get the weird mood swings you get warned about, either - it's just relief. She'd also be confined to a house, not skipping around the shops buying embroidery supplies as even an im shot at the moment results in you being told 'treat this as a short term Shielding Order'. There would also have been a Covid vaccination beforehand as they're available now.

I'm restricted to no more than every three months and not in the same place twice in a row because of the potential damage they can do to tendons, joint capsules and bursae in particular - they're not as strict with the im ones, as they have a slower action, being a depo, as long as they vary the side they get shoved in. But that's because I've passed the Dexa scans twice, so they aren't worried about bone density; if I had lower bone density, I wouldn't be able to have them at all.

Yep - but it takes a while (although quicker with intravenous). I got an awful moonface, hump on back and pot belly and a full beard - but so worth it to feel well again and fight the nasty autoimmunes. So we can look forward to Jack exhibiting all of these (unless it is injections for joint pain).

When my youngest was a baby they used to come and see me, I actually managed to bore them off coming round.

They still send me letters occasionally.

I predicted her return by midnight last night and would you look at that, up she pops at 11:30pm like a verminous peeky mink. I don't want to be psychic Thankyou Jack, I'm already freaked out enough that Psychic Slopbot might be truly psychic, even though I built him and (spoilers) he's essentially just a random number generator.

I'm choosing to believe these steroid injections are part of her pescetarian bodybuilding and in a couple of weeks she's going to swan in Ronsealed to oblivion and ripped as fuck.

I got one of these the other day, not handwritten, but very personal in tone and hand signed (from south london too) and the envelope was hand written with a first class stamp, bizarrely

They were amazing my dad lost his mobility a bit due to where his cancer was pressing on his brain with steroids and radio therapy he got all of that back,. It was amazing.

I’m eponymously shocked.

Bizarrely I received a similar handwritten one a day or two ago. I thought it was our local bretheran ones as they can’t have their same things since Covid. Must be the new thing! I’m not sure if I have thrown it out yet lol.
