This week medical:

This week medical:

Been to Dr Twice, PT 3 times. 
Had to go back to Dr this morning on basically an emergency call, due to my joint aches spreading in a major way to my right hand, left two finger knuckle areas.  Can't close the hand, can't write very well, basically the hand is useless.


Dr Brian has now issued me a trial run of prednisone, which is supposed to be a magic bullet for these types of joint issues, with relief possibly coming within 24 hours- Now all we have to do is wait for the persription to work its way from the Drs office to Wal Mart, hopefully by the time Bette gets out of mah jong at 3. 

PT worked on my neck again, and are seeing some results there, also worked on both shoulders with some relief. 

Heard back finally from MRI people, those are now scheduled next Mon and Tues.

Will wait for those to come back, then interpret, then possible referrall to RA Dr. 

Still wracked with pain, not sleeping well, hoping the prednisone will calm things down.  

UGH.
