Feeling a bit down...wallowing in self pity!

Hey everyone...
I dont mean to moan, especially when I know that there are so many people far worse off than me. But I am so fed up of feeling lousy.
I got a cold two weeks ago and I just cant shake it. I saw my doctor this week and she said that my inner ears and nose were swollen and that was what was making it impossible to rid myself of the horrid green gunk that is giving me headaches and making me feel dizzy. So she gave me a prescription for Predisone, and told me it was to reduce the swelling.
What I didnt know was that Predisone, being a steroid sends BG's SKY HIGH! I had a reading of 10.5 this morning and cant get below 8 all day! This is a disaster for me as the high BG is making me feel awful, dizzy and tired.
So I have stopped taking it and am furious as these highs are going to affect my A1C next month.
So now I am still blocked up, cant breathe, have a 24 hour headache and feel dizzy and tired. To top it all I have woken up today to a beautiful big red stye forming on my lower left eyelid......aaaaaaggh!

Sorry for the moan...
