We
met with my neurologist last week and the great news is that my
anti-body blood tests have been sent off, so we only have a 6 week wait
to find out the results
In the mean time, next week will NOT be my last IVIG treatment afterall. I
will continue IVIG but less frequently (every 3 weeks instead of every 2
weeks). With that said, starting today I get to decrease my Prednisone
from 10mg to 5mg and then hopefully in a
month, ZERO! WOO HOO! Next month, I will begin some CT scans with
contrast - apparently causes nausea, YIKES - for more cancer testing.
That covers
my anti-body situation for the time being!
Now for the T1D: I am having an obscene amount of unexplained LOW blood sugars without change to diet, medication or exercise - yes I am more active
but this does not occur during those times of day! Yes, I have adjusted my pump ratios. As much as I hate
having low blood sugars, my doctors cannot explain it and are chalking
this up to the possibility of my pancreas beginning to work again. None will make any promises as there is no current test to prove this
but since other organs are beginning to work again, they cannot rule it
out. I don't want to get my hopes up so...WE WILL JUST SEE. I appreciate
all of your encouragement and so many of you who have included me and
invited me to do things with you. On that note, let me invite you to
join me for a special event!!
I will be walking in September - Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes-
please join me if you will: TEAM CAUSE I GOT HIGH (for those of you who
don't get it, "High" as in Blood Sugar). I believe it is a short 2 mile
walk around the Capitol in Sac. on Sept 27.
