Meeting Dr. Coulter
Rheumy says Mr. Plaquenil is slacking off. He upped the dose 20 mg. Hope that perks him up a bit.
Rheumy puts me on Hydrocodone.
Rheumy runs more blood tests (one can never have too many tests). Explains to me there is a difference between Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease and Lupus. Well, maybe to a Rheumatalogists there is.
Rheumy doesn't seem to like my GP's course of action, or lack there of. I show him my beloved iPad. (side note: calendar is awesome for tracking pain, meds, butt troubles, etc. Little bullet points, very easy to read) He does not agree to me taking Imodium as long as I need to, no problem. He wants to know what is causing butt troubles.
So now I am on my way to a consult with Dr. Coulter. It snowed 3 inches last night and I get to drive 19.7 miles to his office to meet him. I'm a little leary. I have to have a colonoscopy, yeah me. Does anyone else find it creepy that a guy would spend so much time and money going to school to spend his life looking up peoples butts?
