I am down a doctor -- yes!

::happy dancing:: My rheumatologist says I don't have to come in for regular check-ins anymore. WHEE! I'm to keep doing what I'm doing (walking, eating right, getting sleep), get my GP* to keep me on the evening meds, and call my rheumatologist if I have a severe flare-up, but not to worry until then. He didn't even argue with me trying an herbal anti-inflammatory. But my weight's down, and my blood pressure and heart rate with it, and joints that have been tender the last few times I've come in weren't today. Man, what a *nice* surprise!

* -- My GP, much to my amusement, studied with my rheumatologist when a med student.
