Geez. I am starting to let notifications pile up again, but I've been busy doing homework. I have felt ok enough to get things done (yay!), so I've been trying to stay on top of things. So I'm just popping in with an update. 🙂
It took two calls today to get someone from Dr. Crawford's office to respond to me, but they did finally call me back. I was starting to get upset, so I'm glad they called.
Dr. Crawford wants to keep me on methotrexate. Pills, I guess, since they are working. She doesn't seem to think my cough is due to methotrexate. I don't know how she can determine that without seeing me or asking me any questions, but I'll give it some time. If it gets worse I will call and bother them again.
She also wants me to take triple the amount of folic acid every day. It helps with nausea and keeps my hair from falling out and she said that a higher dose will help with the ulcers I'm getting in my mouth now. So. I guess that's a plan.
Sarcastic yay for side effects. 😕 But sincere yay for being able to walk. 🙂 And SUPER SINCERE HAPPY YAY for not being in constant bad pain. 😃 I have a dull ache in my hips sometimes, but nothing I can't overlook - especially after experiencing just how bad it can get. Woo for being functional! 😃
