Probably not but it sure feels like it.
My doctor says that while I"m out of the country we have to keep my flare in my joints so that it doesn't get out of hand before I can get back to see her. THat leaves me a week more on prednisone (grumble. grumble. grumble.) I know it's shallow but I'm starting college in less than a month and I hate that I'm gaining weight right now...
But the main issue is when I get back she wants to do 2 more rituxan treatments. I haven't had one in almost 2 years but she wants to do one the week I get back (the week of august 3rd) and the second one 2 days before I leave for school. TWOOOO DAYSSSS gives me no recovery time before I have to carry heavy luggage to a dorm room on the second floor, leave my parents, be active all day every day for a week during orientation, be social, make friends, and basically not die. Does anyone know (before I make myself even less popular with my doctor by b*tching about it to her) if theres a particular reason she would need to wait 2 weeks between treatments? Or do you think it's reasonable (a.k.a not whiny
) to start trying to push that one back a little so I have a chance at not falling flat on my face at college?
