Health Update

Since my last post it has been over a month and I still don't have my computer fixed. With that being said that's part of the reason I haven't been posting. The other part is that I've been busy and trying to stay in control of my health. It started with a common cold and it has endured since Easter Sunday. I went to the doctor got anti biotics and felt better for about a week. She also put me on nebulizer treatments. A month later,feeling better but with symptoms still lingering and completely cleared away I had a chest X-ray done and it shows some infection in the right lung. I am scheduled to have a CT Scan on Monday and that should give the doctor more insight. The last doctors visit she gave me steroids for a three day cycle. I am hoping it has improved since the steroids. The cough is definitely better and not nearly as bad. As for my Devics related symptoms, I have been doing very well. My mobility is great and my gait and stride are much improved and getting better and better every day. I find that I do well with day to day activities as long as I don't exhaust or over exert myself. I'm even able to do some light excercising. I'm not due for an infusion of Rituxin until August but I'm doing wonderful.
