Well, the Death Flu was so nasty that I am not surprised it woke up my immune system, misdirected parts and all.
I really tried to stay off of the weight-gaining prednisone, endured a LOT of pain, etc. But when I saw I was bruising easily I got a blood test. My platelet count is going down, so it's time for a few days of the 'roids (glucocorticosteroids -- prednisone). I'm also so sick of this cough I'm taking the levaquin I brought with me. My rheum has been helping me out via email! Yay for technology! But so far all of my decisions have matched his. I guess we patients do soak up some knowledge over the decades...
I'm also anemic, again. Iron pills to the rescue.
The upside of things going south is that now I really have to treat, and so I will feel a lot better.
