Thanks, Pete! I'm definitely going to miss Columbus, but I'm glad I won't have to deal with really cold winters anymore. Come visit anytime! :)

I just found out a few days ago that I got into grad school for occupational therapy at MUSC! I'll be moving in May. I'm so scared and nervous to move away from my current team of doctors, but...

It has been a while, but I've still been checking in every so often. I hope everyone is doing well!
Does anyone have suggestions on how to get rid of a cold fast? I woke up this morning with the...
I unfortunately won't be able to attend the symposium this year, because I am taking a graduate anatomy dissection course this summer. I was hoping to go explore the city, and see if I like it since...
I've never been to Seattle, but have always wanted to visit! Maybe I'll get into UW and end up there. Glad to know there are lots of good doctors in the area. :)
Thanks for the name, me2! Glad to know you have a good team of doctors at UW. And I'll definitely have to check out the vasculitis center at Chicago - I don't know how I didn't know there was one in...
I'm applying to grad school this summer, and I am trying to make sure there is at least one doctor with experience wherever I apply. Right now, the only schools I'm considering that I'm not sure of...
I was supposed to run another half marathon in April, but I'm not sure that's going to happen... medical issues (nothing major) have kept me from training. They have a 5k option so I'm going to try...
Hi Jeannette!
Welcome to the forum. Sorry you had to find us, but there is a lot of helpful information and great people with lots of advice.
Like Pete said, Rituxan takes time to kick in which...
I attended the last two in Philly and Jacksonville, too! I'm thinking about going to this one... I learned so much and enjoyed meeting everyone! I'm applying to grad school this summer, so my bank...
I got back late last night... I put everything in my pill cases and threw them in my bags and was fine. It was way easier than carrying a dozen bottles with me. It was so hard to leave the warm,...
Thanks, guys! I think I'll try to see if I can just fill 2 pill boxes, so I'll have 3 extra days in case I drop a pill or something happens. Good idea to print a list of all my prescriptions and...
I hope your appointment goes well, and they can figure out what's wrong soon. My friend sweats and gets dizzy when her thyroid levels are off, so it could be your thyroid. I'd have your doctor check...
I am going out of town next week, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with bringing their meds when traveling out of the country. I am going with a few friends from work, and they don't...
It looks like whatthewhat has some good suggestions for pediatric specialist to look into.
I currently see a rheumatologist at Ohio State, and she's absolutely wonderful! She specializes in...
I'm so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, Dorothea. I hope the Rituxan is helping you feel a little better and get Weg's under control. I had dialysis the end of 2012 before my transplant. I did...
Happy birthday, Anne! I hope you have a great day!! :hug3:
I ran 3 miles yesterday - I had to walk part of it since my heart rate reached 203 bpm. I wish my little heart would learn to slow down.
I decided to exercise at home this morning to give my...
Yes! I can't believe I left that out. I also use a urine test strip once a week to stay on top of things and check my urine between my routine urinalysis done at the doctor's office. The strips are...
Like others have said, if you are recently diagnosed I would get blood work weekly. Now that I have wegs under control (for the most part) I get blood work once a month. If I ever start not feeling...
It's going pretty good so far. I just take it one day at a time. Some days I can run several miles, other days I can only run one or none, but I'm okay with that... it's not worth risking my health...
Sorry to hear you are flaring! But I'm glad you and Dr. Merkel are on top of things to help prevent things from getting worse. I hope this round of rituxan helps, and you're feeling better soon! :)
Hey guys!
I'm currently getting my rituxan infusion. Sorry I haven't been on much lately, but between work, school, and shadowing OT's I haven't had much time to just relax. I have been thinking...
I'm so glad to hear you're doing well, Victor! Dr. Merkel sounds like a wonderful doctor, and that picture is such a cool way to thank him! :)
