Just a quick post ... tomorrow I'll post a long one - I promise!
Tomorrow is my 4 week check-up and I can't wait to hear what the doctor says. I think I might have the lower dose of the drug and am hoping the cumulative effect will show more results.
Rheumatology
Joints in my right hand are feeling a whole lot better (good thing!)
Bone in right foot, still painful - no improvement
Left wrist thumb, not so hot and writing with a pen/pencil for any length of time is very difficult.
All in all, joints feel ok, except a few areas
Dermatology
A few new patches, not a lot
No existing patches are gone
Existing patches have spread in size (with individual patches merging)
Patches do not seem as thick
Underneath scale, patches appear to be a lighter pink in color than original red (tonight arms are looking light pink)
When I look at my arms, they look better to me, but when I look at them in the mirror, they still look horrible
No improvement in patches on trunk of body
I guess I was hoping to really see some more definitive results by now. But when I do an inventory - as I did above, I can quantify where I am seeing results. And I should be happy! Especially not being in a lot of pain. Just wish I'd see more skin results NOW :-) ... scratch, scratch ... scratch, scratch.
