I had a really tough couple weeks, mostly because of prednisone induced anxiety I think. Crazy. I’ve never had anxiety before but it floored me. I feel like I’m turning a corner though. My blood work continues to improve. My energy and strength are better. I’m around 6 weeks post second RTX dose so this should be making its presence known now. I also do monthly IVIG, which seemed to make me feel better too. I’ll get there and I’ll far more positive now. Just gotta keep lowering the damn prednisone! Bit by bit.
Thanks for your words of encouragement.
