The Best Christmas Present Ever

Yesterday’s hematology appointment went great!  My platelets were at 106 and my hemoglobin was at 12.5. Because of this, he dropped my 5mg a day dose to 5mg Monday, Wednesday, Friday!

I have another appointment in two weeks (January 4th) with a different doctor at the center. If my numbers are still good he will drop me to just Tuesday, Thursday. Two weeks after that I can potentially be off the steroids completely!

With that being said, today is officially my first day not taking Prednisone in almost seven months – 207 days to be exact!  Best Christmas present ever!!!
