Dr update

Just left my rheumy's office....a little relieved. He said I need to get a biopsy and if it comes back discoid lesions then we start CellCept , not what I was expecting, but it is a chemo drug. We also changed one medication and are testing cortisol levels to see about switching from prednisone to hydrocortisone. Then we start tapering off steroids, but no matter what I stay on my biological infusions of Benlysta. Not exactly what I was expecting, because if the biopsy comes back negative we don't start the chemo, but I'll take what I can get. Now it's time for praying!

Here is a picture of my great doctor, Dr. Gary Meyerson.....he's awesome! And yes Atlanta traffic always stinks, even after 6!
