Decided to just call it Dose instead of Day. 

Anyway, I went to Kaiser and got the labs done yesterday. Cha-ching, became mayor of the lab. Was simultaneously sad and a bit thrilled to have the honor, but face it, who’s going to say “holler at me, I’m in the lab.” We’re not there to winky wink. We’re there because our health stinky stinks. My labs came back clean (whew), and nothing major changed from the last time I took them…oh, a month ago.

What’s been awesome is that my doc is great about following up. She emailed me at 3:30 yesterday asking me to do my labs because the results weren’t in…And at that time I was actually doing them. Good to know she’s on the team, right? So I get an email from her this morning, she’s viewed all the results and we’re good to go for the second dose. Last week was 5mg, now it’s 10mg. 4 little tablets of awesomeness down the gullet. Next week, 15mg. 6 tablets. Daily folic acid. Cabbage patch dancing.

No bumps in the road yet…I can’t say I’m looking better, but all things in time. Even if this doesn’t work out, at least I know it’s time to move on to find another solution.*

*Most people will say “Go to Hawaii! Get some sun.” I did that 4 years ago and that’s when I had the second worst breakout of my life. But I wouldn’t say no to a trip, FYI.
