Whaoo.........tiny improvement in blood levels! AST 169 ALT 232. Still high but at least no worse. To stay on 30mg pred daily over the weekend and review at hosp on Monday afternoon. Can't say I feel any better, in fact seem more tired and have no stamina at all. Tried a dog walk this morning and really suffered for it. Appetite far too good (have put on a few pounds) little nausea, joints not as bad, but cramp in toes has returned. Was hoping to feel ecstatic about bloods, but for some reason still feel very flat and unsure. Will try to take it easy over the weekend.
Complete mud bath here in Cornwall, donkeys fed up and older one has rain scald (which bizarrely is responding well to sudocrem). Will update after clinic Monday. Thanks for all good wishes
Oh Penny, That is good news and much better than being told the levels had gone up even more.It's understandable that you are not that excited as you are still not feeling good and are worried about the illness. Hopefully, you can have a cosy relaxing weekend despite all the mud and sad donkeys! I hope your hospital appointment goes well on Monday. Take it easy, probably not a good idea to do anything strenuous for the time being. Remember It really is positive news that you are responding to the steroids and thank goodness!,so have faith!! Good luck for Monday. Love Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo x I do feel a bit better today and more positive x
DeleteGood luck for tomorrow penny, it's about time we got a break, everything crossed for you, take care xx
ReplyDeleteHi penny how did things go for you at the hospital? I hope all is well take care xx
ReplyDeleteSaw consultant. No changes.........still on 30 mg pred. More bloods taken and they were supposed to ring today to give results, but nothing. Don't think they want to change anything until they are sure the bloods are settling down. Have to have them again on Friday then back to clinic again Monday.....not much progress and very fed up. Can't see me going back to work yet x
