Good Afternoon Ladies

?

It is raining and dreary here.? It is 48 but with the way the wind is blowing out there it feels much colder.

?

I went to the rheumatologist today.? I really like him and he just might have a diagnosis for me.? He says it sounds like I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica.? It explains all of my symptoms and also says it "goes away" when taking steroids.? I have been on those for four days and I have been pain free, completely pain free, for three days now.? I have two more days left of the steroids.? He told me to finish them out and then we are going to see if it happens again.? If it does, I am to start a new script of low dose steroids to see what happens and I am to call the office and let them know it.? I have to have more bloodwork on the 10th and I see him again on the 14th.? He also said that one of my tests showed that my inflammatory markers were very high.? That is another symptom that goes with the diagnosis.? I am very happy to have at least some kind of an answer.? I was starting to think I was crazy about what was happening with me.

?

Anyway, we went to Menards to look at wood so that when I am done stitching my kitties in the next few days, Duane will be able to have an idea of what I want in a frame.? The pattern says the finished piece is 12x26 which means the frame needs to be a tad bigger and that is if I don't go with a mat in the frame.? I haven't decided what to do yet.

?

Okay, I need to get off of here so I can get chores done that I didn't do today since I was out and about.
