Heard from the doctor's office today.

Heard from the doctor's office today. They want me to come back either Thursday or Monday after I finish my steroid pills. They said we could talk and run some tests to see about doing a referral for me. So, I guess that is my plan for now.

Today I have felt ok. My lower back and thigh pain have mostly faded. My knees and hips are better than they've been in a long time. Even though it's chilly this evening my whole body isn't seized up and sore. That's amazing. 

The only complaint I have is slight back soreness and some random occasional shooty pains. I can live with that.

I have been freaking myself out all day with my skin. It is SO SOFT. My hair, too. I can't stop petting myself. When you've lived with sore, flaky, rough skin for so long - feeling like you have fresh soft baby skin suddenly is mind - blowing. Like, in a big way. I wish you could all touch my face right now, but that would gross me out. LOL

Anyway. Will start my steroid pills tomorrow and hope that goes ok.
