I snagged a last minute virtual appointment with Rheumatology this morning. We’re going to try another round of steroid (Medrol/Methylprednisolone) to see we if we can get this awful multi-month flare under control. Last time I took it for a week and it helped but all the symptoms came back a week later. This time I’m taking a higher dose for a week and then the original dose for a second week. If this doesn’t work then we will add an additional DMARD to my regime (most likely Imuran/Azathioprine)
Mandana wasn’t sure if she wanted to go shopping with me today. I gave her some time to decide and turns out she just wanted to make sure she could go to the bathroom first. I always give her a chance to go potty before we go but she needed to go a second time so I’m glad she made her needs known.
She was super good as always. We went to the pharmacy and then grabbed a few groceries.
My knees and back are hurting bad today. I put Mandana on a tie out in the front yard with some water and scattered kibble while I slowly brought the groceries in a little at a time.
