It's been a long day and I'm really tired, so this is going to be a short one.
I had my regular appointments today and those all went well. I also had an appointment with the GvHD clinic. The long and the short of it is that I am definitely presenting with signs of chronic GvHD of the joints. I've been taking steroids since last Friday and will continue to do so for the next few months. The diagnosis on my facial rash was a bit more ambiguous. It might be, it might not be. That's how it happened last time.
I also had a meeting with a nurse about diabetes education. The steroids might make me temporarily diabetic, so I'll have to test my insulin levels multiple times throughout the day. I've been prescribed an insulin pen just in case I need to start injecting myself. It's only been the first day, so I can't really say what will happen. My pharmD suspects that I will become diabetic based on today's readings. I'm annoyed to say the least as this is just one more ritual I have to remember.
I'll post more in the next few days, but right now, I'm just too worn out.
