Good visit with gp
Posted , 6 users are following.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. Nice visit with my GP today. My blood sugar level is now well within normal limits. Ferritin still low but tending in right direction. Inflammation marker hasn't moved. I should have written it down, but I think it is something in the mid 20s and she said that hadn't changed from previous reading. (Don't think that is a good sign.) But she said several times that we treat the symptoms and don't worry about the reading. (These are all results from three months ago.) She also agreed to add Vitamin D to the next bloodwork. We had another conversation about osteoporosis. I told her I'd managed to get my t-score and it was osteopenia, so she was pleased about that (the report to the doctors doesn't include t-score any more, just a descriptive label, in my case "low bone mass"). She also said she was happy with my being at 4 mg.

I wonder how doctors are supposed to figure out which direction your bone readings are going if they don't have access to the actual numbers?!?! Good thing you are able to get them.

Anyway, glad that you got good results... another win against PMR.

I do have to say that learning things weren't so bad actually turned my life around. Had been in a very bad place, and even relief of pain through pred wasn't enough to make everything right again. The mistaken statement that I had osteoporosis was another blow. But being given a chance to proactively work towards improving my condition has been a godsend.
