Aye, aye, aye....

This poor child. What next? I probably shouldn't ask that. So....over the past couple of weeks we had noticed Jennas knees and one ankle starting to swell. She wasn't complaining so we didn't mention it to her. I just kept subtly checking her out. By the end of last week she was complaining ALOT about pain and discomfort. Also her eyes seemed to be doing better on the drops 4 x daily. Also by end of last week....lots of pain. So I called her rheumatologist this morning and spoke with his nurse. She then spoke with him and called me back. We are increasing her methotrexate and giving ibuprofen every six hours. Lovely. Do this for 2 wks and call back. I am somehow not sastisfied. I don't know what I would have rather them said. I just don't feel sastisfied with what they DID say. A couple hours goes by and her primary doctors office calls. Her routine labs that she had done last week are off so he wants more labs done. Awesome.....cause we had to pine her to the table last week. Her platelet count is to high. Now I know that this is not uncommon in arthritis but it's even to high for her rheumatologist to think it's okay. Great! So what is going on now?! Oh and I also STILL have not heard back from Dr. Fosters office about the crazy $250 payment for her first visit. Thank GOD I started taking meds of my own.
