Actemra update

After re-reading my Rheumatologist’s chart note I need to correct my tritration schedule that I posted earlier.

So here goes. I am currently on 30 mgs of Prednisone. This Sunday I drop 10 mgs to 20 mgs for two weeks. I then drop down to 15 mgs for another two weeks. I will then have my appointment with her and we will discuss my slower tritration down at that appointment.

I certainly feel extremely fortunate to have found this Rheumatologist. So far she had been spot on. At the beginning of all of this she said that I was a challenging case and I did not know how dangerously sick I was.

As of tonight all is good. Tired, a bit dizzy when I walk around but nothing unusual for me.
