How did it go today, Natalie?

[Natalie]

well my appointment wasnt with ENT but with the Breast surgon , was a mix up and they have booked me under the wrong clinic .. oh well easy done when I see 3 different specialist in the same hospital they did make me another ENT appointment for the 5th of Oct .. so will wait till then and will let yous know how it gos
.. Im hoping my ENT will get back on the Nose reconstruction talk .. But this Breast issuse has scared him off a bit . Especialy how long it has taken to heal . :kittyscared: < love this smiley :)

Natalie so glad to hear you are ok. Good luck at the docs!

[Natalie]

Well Doc went well, my Bloods are good , My PR3 level is at 12 the lowest it has been in 15 months ,, he is keeping me on 7 1/2 pred , said that he believes the whole issue with my boob was WG related and not so much the Fistula thingy the boob surgeon was following :confused1:. Says I just wasn't on enough pred .. was on 5 for ages like 2 years ?? Who knows !?:unsure: that fight is between them ..( They don't get along ! ):angry: all OK now so lets move on hey :rolleyes1:. I don't see him for 3 months now . quite a long break . its been well over twelve months since I was stable enough to not see him for this amount of time. so im glad .

[Sangye]

That's great to hear, Natalie! I hope you continue to get stronger. :smile1:

Congratulations Natalie, I am on a four month rotation with the Doctors now. I remember being a little anxious at first. It was like a way of life that every month this is what I do, then it changed. I am used to it now and am still feeling well. In remission and drug free since June 2010.
Good Luck
Dale

Natalie good news and you sound like you are so much better!

[Sangye]

I've always been on a 3-month visit schedule with Dr Seo and only see him more often if we can't resolve a problem via email. Even when I was severely flaring I only saw him every 3 months.
