Thanks, John, for the links. Both appointments are scheduled about a month from now. I am out of town for the next few weeks on a long-scheduled winter getaway, which I almost cancelled but am now glad I didn’t. Our mental health is important too! I am trying hard to adhere to a low-salt/high potassium diet to deal with the fluid retention, which also seems to be improving. I had labs to check my electrolytes just before leaving, and all were in the normal range, except that potassium was at the very low end of normal. I took furosemide for 5 days, and can restart it if needed. I’m not always sure when to contact my pcp (who has ordered all this) and when my rheumatologist.
