Saw Dr. Edmond.

Saw Dr. Edmond. I feel better. Not physically (yet), but in my brain, at least.

Dr. Edmond is referring me to Dr. Crawford, a rheumatologist. I didn't even have to ask him. For now since it might take a while to get in we are doubling my dose of methotrexate. Today is my regular dose, and I need to take another dose this week. I think it's going to suck having to take that in the middle of the week because it makes me tired still, but thankfully, it doesn't put me out for as long as it used to.

He said he was going to call Dr. Crawford himself to see if she could see me sooner so that was super nice. He also wanted to give me steroids to get my joint pain and skin under control, but I didn't do that. As long as I have a plan I feel ok. I really hated the rebound after the first steroids I took, too, so I'm happy to avoid that.

On the general body ache he thinks it's lactic acid building up. I am supposed to drink a lot more water to help with that. I don't even think I can hold as much water as he recommended, but I will try.

Heading to work now. I'll be back on here later. ❤
