Goodbye Cytoxan

I should have thought about my pills a little longer before I took them this morning. It may have been the last time I ever take Cytoxan again.

I saw Dr. Awadh today and am happy to report that he is switching me from the Cytoxan to Methotrexate. My latest lung CT scan showed that both of my lesions had shrunk and I haven't had joint pain or other WG symptoms for months. I knew I was a lot better during this lung CT Scan. The last one was sooo hard for me. I kept coughing during it and could hardly hold my breath for the required 15 second intervals. This time it was a piece of cake.

I am very happy to be getting off the Cytoxan. I think I've been getting pretty fatigued and nauseated from it. I have just been feeling pretty icky the past week, although maybe that is from the augmentin. Luckily I am done with that now too. I am picking up the Methotrexate from Walgreen's tomorrow and will start taking a once weekly dose on Friday.

Ross started up his contracting position and all seems to be going well with his job. It is pretty nice to have things getting back to normal. The only real problem recently has been that either my mom or Jeff has been sick since I moved home. I haven't really been able to see my mom for a long time. She sends me emails all the time about how much she misses seeing Amelia and me.
