I went for my flu shot on Friday & did my weekly blood work. This time it was more then one tube. I was also supposed to do a urine test but for 30 mins I was unable to go, so I will have to take that another time.
I woke up to a phone call this morning from my rheumatologists nurse Tina informing me that my blood levels from Friday went back down again. My wbc is back down to 3.1 not close to the 1.4 but still set off an alarm. I am to hold the Imuran once again & go back for blood work on Monday. If after my labs on Monday my blood levels go up, then I will only start taking 50mgs of imuran instead of the 100mgs I have been taking.
I am very thankful for a physician that is doing his best to have me as a patient as stable as I can be, I just feel like this is a true struggle for me. I struggle to get up everyday with the little bit of energy I am given. I have to plan my days each & every day, it is mentally draining to try and figure out if I'm eating right or sleeping right or trying to figure out why my blood levels keep going up & then dropping. I will be smiling today but there will also be tears. I am emotionally drained & am trying to make it not become physical.......so another day of resting, seems like all I have been doing lately.
