Tired, cold, and sore, so...

Tired, cold, and sore, so I guess I'm heading to bed.  But first!  Here is an update for anyone who was curious:

I had an appointment with Dr. Hamer today.  I went to 1700 Christine Avenue, which is the address Blue Cross had online, but he was not there.  He's now at 1820 Leighton Avenue if anyone needs to know that.

I went in and the receptionist guy was on the phone.  I'd left my cell in the car; otherwise, I would have known he was calling me to say that Dr. Hamer was out sick.  I stayed and did all of the new patient paperwork and all that (might as well get it out of the way), and rescheduled my appointment for Friday morning.  So, we'll try that again Friday.  LOL  I hope that the doctor is feeling better by then.

I am doing mostly ok.  My joints and bones aren't hurting, so that's nice - especially in this kind of cold we're having.  My skin is already breaking back out, though.  I guess it was fun having nice skin while it lasted.  LOL  It's not painful yet - which is my main concern, but I know it'll be getting there - and soon.  I've read that while steroid use can ease psoriasis in the short term it can also trigger massive breakouts when you're done with the meds.  I'm really hoping that doesn't happen in my case, but I guess we'll find out!

I know I mentioned that I am sore, but that's just muscle sore from exercise.  It's no fun, but at least it's not a bad thing.  🙂

I am also fighting a sinus infection.  It hasn't hit me hard yet.  I keep rinsing my nose out trying to head it off, so maybe that will work.

Other than that I think I gained 10 lbs from the steroids - as I ate like a hog while I was on them.  Trying REALLY hard to start eating normally again, but it's not easy.  I've still got a big appetite, but that could just be all in my head or what I got used to doing.  Either way, trying to get that in check.  If my joints are bad the last thing I need to be is unnecessarily heavier.

And I guess that's all for now.  ❤
