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!!

Fatigue is my new shadow :(
I feel very tired nowadays.
Usually, I would be energetic after popping in all sorts of medication and supplements. Not these two weeks.
Here is a link of causes of fatigues from Yahoo Lifestyle.

It gives the idea of you gotta watch out for these 4 causes when your energy level constantly go low.
#1 Heart Trouble
#2 Low Thyroid
#3 Blood Imbalances
#4 Liver Issues
#2 is most unlikely as I have done related tests before. Though my heart says that the tests were wrong. *matilaaa x ngaku kuat makan. hahahaha...err.. :(
I suspect that my ESR has gone up again. I better make sure it comes down soon at least two months before my next appointment so that my methotrexate dosage would not be increased.
