An unexpected jaunt to Dana Farber

The lowering of my prednisone dosage finally has caught up with me.

Pain in the hips/hands (neuropath) have come back in force over the last few days.

Rather than increase the prednisone, the decision was made to put me back on the Neurontin at my previous dosage.

The pain return is not entirely unexpected but I do not want to go back on the oxycodone again.

I've also been experiencing some dizziness/lightheaded-ness when getting up.

The doctor called this orthostatic hypotension and can be caused either by change in position or medication.

I go back for my next scheduled visit on the 14th.
