PUPPS Update

For those of you wondering, or concerned, or just plain curious… I did call on Friday morning to try and get into the doctor. After explaining my symptoms and how I feel perfectly fine they wanted me to be seen within 24 hours just to rule out anything serious. However after spending an hour on the phone being transferred over and over, it turns out no one had any openings on Friday, so I was told to go to Urgent Care. Which I did when I finished teaching on Friday night.

At Urgent care the doctor was stumped. She doesn’t think it’s PUPPS. But she doesn’t really know what else it is. But it also, doesn’t appear to be anything really bad (like measles). So… she prescribed me some Prednisone and we’ll see what happens.

And I’m happy to say I do think it’s getting better. Although I accidentally spend too much time outside in the sun this weekend and I got a little sunburned, so now my arms hurt from that too! Haha! I’ll keep you posted.

    I was on Prednisone for 3 days for my bronchitis, and I really don’t like how it makes me feel – all bloated. But I have to believe it helps our bodies heal, so I hope it helps you, too.
