Joining Mayo Clinic Connect is one of the best decisions I have made this year. I needed to be here.
I need to find a new therapist. The ones near my home only have sessions in the morning, when I am supposed to be working or in class. The other person who was suggested works too far from my home for me to commit to going there every week. Also, my movements are restricted because of the low white cells. I am currently looking for one who can have virtual sessions and who is okay with afternoons and possibly, early evenings.
I will speak to my doctor at my next appointment this coming Monday. She is concerned about my pill burden. The problem is that I get very sick when she tries to reduce my meds. The inflammation goes through the roof, and I am uncomfortable, swollen, and in pain. This makes things tricky.
At present, the side effects I am struggling with the most, are from rituximab. I tolerate the other drugs I am on very well.
Of course, I will definitely think about and apply the advice and suggestions I have been given. Is that not the point of all of this, that we share and help each other?
I will stay in touch, soon you will be rolling your eyes at how I am in touch too often, hehehe.
