Good week!

Today I have another check up with Dr Periman and my platelets are at 233! Im doing great coming off the prednisone! He says in 2 weeks I can be compeletely off. Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dr. Weber to just get a check up and he is going to start me on diet pills to help me lose the 20 + lbs I gained on prednisone. YAY for a good week!

Fibro

Today was my second appointment with Dr. Ramos. My ana's came back positive again and he suspects I may have Sjorgrens syndrome even thought I do not have the symptoms. He diagnosed me with fibromyalgia becuase of all the pain in my pressure points and starts me on cymbalta which is an antidepressant and a treatment for dibro. The other treatment that he liked that wasnt an antidepressant messes with your bone morrow and having ITP, I cant have it. So now im looking at having 4 different kinds of autoimmune diseases, its just going to take awhile to get diagnosed.

Platelets leveling..

 

I went to amarillo and checked my platelets. Still great at 109 even thought they have dropped, they are still normal. Im on 20 mg of prednisone now. ALMOST DONE

Funeral

Grandpa's funeral was this morning. I went and bought a thing of roses and a ribbon that said Granpa that I plan on drying the roses with and keeping the ribbon. The newspaper put the wrong picture with his obituary and didnt put half of the information needed in there. They didnt even put what time the funeral was. It was very disappointing. It was a very sad day. My aunt sue took it really hard, they were the closest out of the brothers and sisters and last 2 left. Later that day I finally signed the papers on my new nissan altima. Its black outside and black leather inside. Ive been trying to buy this car for awhile, I think grandpa had a hand in it.
