4th Doctor's Appointment

-
I had my next appointment with Dr. Walker on the 21st of November. It was good. Just another check to see how I was doing type of a thing. He asked how the Cellcept was working, and I told him fine. He decided to double the dose so I would be taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 in the evening. He asked how the Raynauds was, and I told him about the same. He mentioned a drug that is similar to Viagra (can't remember the name), but he wasn't sure if our insurance would cover it. Then he answered some questions and sent me for more blood tests. It's important to keep testing my blood every so often while I'm on the Cellcept to make sure that it's not killing my kidneys, and to keep my white blood count normal. I'm becoming a pro with the blood giving.

When they called with the results, everything was okay, with the exception of the muscle enzymes. Dr. Walker wanted me to start taking 10 mg of Prednisone (Treats inflammation (swelling), severe allergies, complications of chronic illnesses, and other medical problems. Also used to decrease some symptoms of cancer. This medicine is a steroid.) Our insurance also wouldn't cover the one medicine to help increase blood flow, so he put me on Fluoxetin, aka Prozac. It has been found to help people with Raynauds, and is found to help depression, so why not? Just more meds for me to take. I can take it. My next appointment was scheduled for 2 months later.

Just some random pics taken during those few months.

The Beginning - Raynaud's

Image
In December of 2011, I noticed that if my hands got really cold, they would turn white, and go numb. It just started in my middle fingers, and progressively got worse. I just thought it was really strange, but didn’t think anything of it. I'd just wear gloves and try to keep them warm. In January of 2012, they started turning a purpleish/blackish color when they got too cold, and they were really hard to warm up again. It kind of freaked me out, and one day at work I showed my co-workers. They kind of freaked out, so that kind of freaked me out. I ended up going to Instacare, where I learned that it was really expensive to go there. I kind of teared up when she told me how much it cost, and I guess she though I was crying because of my fingers. Needless to say those few tears got me in a bit quicker. The nurse came in and did all the basics, and then I waited for a bit longer. Of course by the time the doctor got in there, I had warmed up a bit so they weren't as b...

1st Doctor's Appointment

-
Image
I had my very first doctor's appointment on September 5. After having to wait so long for the insurance to finally kick in, I was pretty excited to go to the doctor. I took the afternoon off, which was a good thing because I was there for quite a while. They were a bit busy, so I didn't even get in until about an hour after I was scheduled. I didn't even care. The nurses kept apologizing, but seriously. I did not even care.   When I finally got in, the nurse came in and briefly asked me what was going on and did her stuff, then left. Dr. Carlson came in shortly after, and asked to look at my hands. I showed him and he said, "I think I know what's going on." He then proceeded to ask me questions, so I got to start from the beginning and tell him everything. He'd ask me questions every now and then, then continue on. I felt like I got everything out, but it's kind of hard to remember EVERYTHING when you're not really sure what's part of it,...

What is Scleroderma?

-
Image
By now, you're probably wondering just what exactly is Scleroderma. Well, in simple terms (and in a cute typo-graphic)   So, basically, my body has decided that it doesn't like the healthy body tissues in my body, and tries to get rid of them. So much for trying to get in shape and be healthy right? In more in depth terms, this is what eMedTV says about it: Scleroderma is derived from the Greek words "sklerosis," meaning hardness, and "derma," meaning skin. Therefore, it literally means "hard skin." Although it is often referred to as a single disease, it is really a symptom of a group of diseases. This group involves the abnormal growth of connective tissue, which supports the skin and internal organs. Therefore, scleroderma is sometimes used as an umbrella term for these disorders. In some forms of scleroderma, hard, tight skin is the extent of this abnormal process. However, in other forms, the problem goes much deeper...
