Ping: Bassward

Question:

Just worried about you ,after the stroke and all. How are you feeling? Just sending you a cyber hug    ((((HUG))))

Response:

Thanks Beverley,  I really appreciate that. I spent the day at drs. and doing MRI’S and x-rays.  I went to a new rheumy and I love her. She was terrific. She feels I did have stroke and I do have Lupus Vasculitis we are starting cytoxan in a week. She wants to do oral low dose at first. I have a hard time with drugs and she wants to start slow to see if I will tolerate ok.  We will hopefully go up 2 weeks at a time and down on Prednisone at same time.  She agrees that the Pred is causing more trouble than good. I have developed type 2 diabetes and she put me on a med for that too.  All this is a little scary but I am hopeful now. Someone is finally listening. She even said " Lupus is as individual as each person that has it"  Yeah a Rheumy that deals in reality!!! Again thanks for the Hugs  really needed now. (0: I do hope your feeling good today.
