Re: talk with my pcp

[Guest guest]

Susiecu, I am glad that things are looking on the brighter side for you. And dont worry about the pred weight I did the same thing and am now losing it. but you are still you dont ever forget that. God will be there every time you look. Take care and just know we are all rooting for you ] Barbara aka bj talk with my pcp Talked to my PCP last night about my eye Dr. visit. I told her that he thinks my sugar level is elevated & that is causing my eye problems. She had my Ted test my sugar while we were on the phone & it was 138 & that was after I ate. She is not concerned right now. She said to take it a couple times a week & if it is in the 130's it is okay. If it is higher than the 170's I should call her. She also wants me to check when my eyes are blurred. So I am still in limbo for the eyes. Just don't understand it. We also talked about my throat & I will make an appt. today with the ENT to get scoped. She is leaving these things up to me as far as when I feel I need to be seen by the certain specialists. Since it is still so new to me I don't want to step on toes, but as far as the rheumy & ENT are concerned, I am free to see them as I need with her approval. I also told her about the snoring which I have had for years & she mentioned a sleep study for apnea. I don't think this is something I need to rush into & I just have all these other things going on right now, so that will have to wait. I am starting to feel better, at least mentally, although my ears are still bothering me, but nothing like the flare I started with. There are days my face swells more, I have had to take off my rings because of the swelling. Of course I have gained 30 lbs since I have been on the pred. I am crossing my fingers that the Imuran will start kicking in soon & will work for me. I know it's all trial and error until the right combination is found. I just wish I could walk or stand for a longer period of time, but my back is so bad I can only tolerate about 5 minutes. Just gotta take it a day at a time. Luv ya.
