Had appointment with occ health this morning. Woke up feeling dreadful and very tired......not a good start ! He is happy for me to try a phased return starting next week. Will have to keep a "stamina diary" and then negotiate with my manager how many hours a week I'm up to. Saw the hepatology consultant this afternoon. Bloods still in range, but they have decided to change me from azathioprine to mycophenolate mofitil due to the side effects from the aza. The list of side effects from mycophenolate looks just as worrying, but hopefully it will suit me better. The good news is, I don't have to increase the steroids to effect the change, just literally swap drugs from tomorrow. Will have to have bloods done again on Friday and return to clinic next Monday to make sure all is well. (it better be as I will be working on Tuesday!!). Now just have to see gp tomorrow to get officially signed back to work, then my manager on Thursday to work out hours.........simples!!
