Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Well I survived another day at Stanford. LOL The heart drs put me on a different med, I will start it after Thanksgiving. The rheumy's ( a resident and an attending physian) were both wonderful. The ran alot of blood tests, and want me to try Plaquenil. I will start that after I start the heart meds. They scheduled me for a bone density test and I will see them both in 2 months. I think I've finally found the right drs. I " m still waiting to hear from the pulmonologist for an appt. I'm still at 8 mg of pred and doing great. Will lower it to 7mg in a couple of weeks. We are going to Rich's parents tomorrow and will be home late tomorrow nite. I hope to get back on track next week.... After Heidi and Dawn have my shopping done. hugs to all PS Sorry for all the mail tonight... just had to catch up!!! LOL promise to read my mail daily from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
