Things that make you go Hmmmmm...

Some of you know that I went to the Dr. yesterday for blood work to see how my levels are. Unfortunately, they have risen back over 1100. The Dr. is "baffled" and I am just frustrated for lack of a better word. I feel better than I have in a while. I have been exercising more and eating better and taking ALL gazillion of my meds just like I am supposed to. I really thought my levels were going to be better this time. The nurse said there is a possibility (a teeny tiny one) that this could have been a "fluke". I don't know how much I believe that BUT I am going back in 4 weeks to have my levels done again. In the meantime, my prednisone will stay at 10mg a day (yay.....I'm SO kidding) and my methotrexate will be increased to 10 pills a week (no, that's not a typo, 10). I pray this will work and my levels will get down to what they consider "normal" for me. I also pray that my levels will STAY down so I can come off of ALL this mess sooner rather than later. I sure am taking a load of meds for a person who never even liked to take tylenol! I did make an appointment to see the Dr. at Duke that I saw earlier this year. That appointment is in November. Maybe she can shed some light on this for me!
