I found out that my doctor is always booked cause of how popular of a doctor she is. At first I was discouraged because I felt that I had a lot of unanswered questions from our last appointment which was almost 6 months ago. But only God knows the time she's needed.
Before I saw her, I thought I better make much of my time with her cause who knows how long it will take to see her again. So I wrote a bunch of questions that I would miss to ask her about. She shared with me that my disease was mild at this stage. But telling only by the symptoms and two xrays which was my sacroiliac joint and fingers. She failed to remember another xray which was important to get done and it was my neck. So I was thankful that she was open to writing me up form for the radiologist to have it checked. And of course she recommended that I'd take a less stronger drug called Sulfasalazine. I quickly explained that I'm not quite comfortable to take that step yet. Especially if I didn't know I was allergic to it. She finally respected my wish. She went ahead and examined my mobility and wasn't proud of the results. My measurement of expansion of the lungs chest were not normal and neither was bending over. She recommended that I'd do Yoga or Pilates everyday. Basically, stretch all the time and keep moving.
The day after I realized that I better have my chest x ray done too since I've had problems with stiffness and breathing deeply. I thank God for another opportunity to get that checked and a sitter who patiently watched my kids so I could do this. Now...just waiting for the results next week! I'm hoping and praying in the Lord's name nothing comes out bad.
