Mavenclad year 2 week 2

[Turtlepie]

I finally heard from my doctor and she said that I can start my medicine so I will start taking it today. I get tired already doing just a few things but she said as long as I am not running a fever and not feeling suck it's OK to start.

I am hoping that all goes well for you, Turtlepie and that you remain on that road to recovery! Is it Spring yet?

Thank you so much. We got in the 70s yesterday but it's going to be in the mid 50s the rest of this week and between Friday and Sunday we are expecting 4 to 6 inches of rain. I might need a boat plus they are saying that the rain my keep coming till Wednesday

I will pray that it is not that, Turtlepie

We are also getting lots of rain this weekend. Today it is beautiful and sunny, in the high 30's. Tomorrow will be the same. I will enjoy that while I can!

How are you? Have you fully recovered from Covid? Good news on the Mavenclad front, I hope that you are well enough to handle it. Are you going to have the Covid shot? Stay strong, 🤗

[Turtlepie in reply to jimeka]

I am doing OK I get very fatigued when I do stuff and it doesn't have to be much. But my doctor says as lo g as I am not running a fever and feeling sick I can take the mavenclad. As for the vaccine I will not be able to take it till my white blood cell count is back up to normal so I won't be able to get it till near the end of this year

[jimeka in reply to Turtlepie]

You will have your own immunity anyway. Pleased you are feeling better. 🤗

[Turtlepie in reply to jimeka]

Thank you. I believe that my immunity will be compromised by the mavenclad lowering my white blood cell count

[jimeka in reply to Turtlepie]

Let’s hope and pray not 🙏

[Turtlepie in reply to jimeka]

I am with you there. Thank you. I will keep everyone updated on how I am doing

I am finishing up my first year of Mavenclad today! I'm a little concerned about being immune compromised for so long...did you have a lot of infections your first year, Turtlepie?

[Turtlepie in reply to southernsullivan]

I had a throat infection that I had a hard time getting rid of after week 1 but no problems with infections after that. I had a tooth that was infected with some bone loss around it but that was mid December and I finished year 1 in February. I did get the covid virus 3 weeks after year 2 week 1. I hope for the best for you. I did get my counts up by May and felt really good new energy and less fatigue

[southernsullivan in reply to Turtlepie]

Thanks for the feedback - good to know that your counts started coming back in only a few months. Best of luck in completing year 2!
