The doctor reviewed symptoms and believes I may have Rheumatoid Arthritis but needs to determine the exact nature.
My being on varied medications plus having gone through chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant make a mess of my blood chemistry.
Standard RA blood markers may not apply.
I was put back on a lower dosage of prednisone to try and manage symptoms while a longer treatment plan is determined.
An MRI will be done on July 16th when I see the doctor next.
Not overjoyed about being on the steroids again but I guess it is better than the agony. Hope the water retention and associated side effects do not return. Lost 53lbs since being off the things. Don't want to backslide.
