Long gone but I ain't gone yet yow!

Test. Test.
Testing from my new note 2.
:)
My RA is fine today.

My last checkup wus in late april.

Doc: Have u been sick lately?
Me : *sees an imaginary noose tagged to the question*
          Errrr... No. Nope. Yeah. I was having fever when I had the
          blood test.
Doc: Was it the RA fever?
Me  : Eh.. taaaaaakkk.. Demam biasa jer. (Nope. Normal fever)
Doc: Thank God. That cud be the reason for the increased ESR.
          Ok. We will retain the current dose of your methotrexate.
Me  : *phewh* (selamat!)

My short term goal is to decrease my dependancy on medications.
No one in my shoes would want to receive a longer meds prescriptions for their next appointment.

I used to believe that telling it all to the doctor is good; as opposed to older folks whom I have talked to regarding the telling it all (your pains/symptoms)l to your doctor. Few that i met believed that telling everything will land you in a post at the hospital as 'the guinea pig'. The rationals are doctors are human and that being human, they cannot run away from trial-and-error.

Huhuuu. In my case, I need to 'save' myself. Bohong sunaaatttt!!
