    Smile Good news on blood work today!

    I just received a report of my blood work that was drawn earlier this week.

    C-reactive Protein is down to .62 from 4.46 in December and 5.55 in September! (Normal range should be 0.00-0.99)

    Sedimentation Rate was 51 in September, 48 in January, and 17 this week. (normal range should be between 0 and 15)

    Sinuses haven't been better in two years. Finally fought off the respiratory virus I had since January 12th. I'm off all the prescription pain killers. I'm still doing 20 MG pred, but will be back to the normal taper schedule of 15 at the end of the week. I have an appointment with the Rheumatologist this afternoon and I am sure we will talk about the 6 month standard protocol follow-up of Rituxan.

    Looks to me like the flare up is subsiding, and I'm on my way to getting better!!!

    I needed some good news this week! YEA!
