Today I taper down to my last 5mg of steroids. The CDED has been going well, especially because it allows me to eat vegan sushi. Yes I will eat sushi for every meal thank you.
I have developed a few delicious potato dishes.
One is smashed potatoes with a little water reheated and mixed with cooked spinach, with spices and salt and black pepper to taste.
Another is smashed potatoes with avocado, salt pepper and spices.
Another is smashed or cubed potatoes with a lemony pesto. Pesto: fresh basil and parsley, beet greens (or any other greens, I just happen to be growing beets in my yarden), juice of 1/2 lemon, salt pepper spices nutritional yeast and enough water to make it a semi liquidy sauce in your blender. A runny sauce is good because the leftover dry ass potatoes will suck it up.
So week one has been fine. The highlight was a particularly delicious cantaloupe. I had a 4 BM yesterday. I am anticipating some diarrhea when I taper down to 5mg but perhaps I’ll be pleasantly surprised?
