Every 12 weeks I have to see my Rheumatologist for an exam. He asks questions about my symptoms, does a physical exam, bloodwork and a urinalysis. FUUUUN! Every 12 weeks I dread these appointments but today I really really didn't want to go. He always suggests that I take Prednisone...a steroid (ummmmm no)..and everytime I tell him that. So today I was expecting much of the same and for the most part, it was like any other visit. However, I have been falling down a lot lately, not able to keep my balance, feeling dizzy, forgetting simple things, etc. So because of this, he wants me to see a neurologist. I'm sure it's nothing but I'm also sure that it will even less fun! I am grateful, however, that I have such a nice Rheumatologist and one that listens to what I want my treatment plan to look like. Hopefully this next specialist will be just as supportive.

Oh Rach... You are such a strong lady to deal with what you do on a regular basis. Really. I know that you try not to let it run you and get you down and so ppl prob dont even realize the extent of what is like. Dealing with chronic illness can be so tiring, frustrating, and sometimes depressing. I hope all goes well at your next appointment. Well keep you in our prayers. Love you.
