Now I remember
Now I remember what else was going on Saturday! I got phone calls from Both Dr. Yang and Dr. Gordon Dole. They told me my sugar levels are up and I need to get more blood work. I also had to cut the sugars out and to call MY PC. Dr. Yang changed up the meds. I am taking a new one atovaquone 750 mg/5 mL suspension. Commonly known as: MEPRON. It's gross (like everything else) and messy. I reduced the prednisone but I have a feeling I needed to wait a little longer.
I did call Internal Med Saturday and had to leave a message. I got a call in the last couple of days. They reminded me gently that prednisone is known to raise the sugar levels when using it long term. THat’s how it is for now. I am also going to have to get a monitor.
Liz Suggested that I look up a different one that they recommended. To see if the insurance covers it. I tried but couldn’t find anything on it in my benefits or programs. I will have to keep trying.
I saw the cardiologist Wednesday. He is pleased that the BP is down. He wants me to wear the compression socks (did one night) and raise my legs when I am lying down or whatever
I have to admit. I have still been eating. I had ice cream after the appointment. ADding to the bagel and what ever else I had this week. As I was leaving my meetup on Wednesday I (I hope) Diarrhea. I had just had shrimp wrap and fries. I gave up the rest of the fries before leaving.
I had the weird Leg cramps that night too. I did everything to get rid of it. Since then I have eaten bananas and made sure I drank water.
