This is not a very positive blog today. My Prednisolone is now at 15mg and I've only had 4 MTX injections. Nodular Prurigo is very active with sore and itchy nodules all over my back and thighs. But the Vasculitis itch coming from my veins hasn't returned YET!!
I have a sinus infection which is making me feel very grotty, and as my immune system is not working properly (only in attacking my own body) I'm now on Doxycyline 100.
I sometimes forget that I ever had breast cancer, and feel that what I have now is making me more ill than BC ever did. But it's my annual mammogram in December, then my breast check in January. Not looking forward to taking my top off and letting nurses and technicians see my ghastly back. They won't want to touch me to examining me looking like this!!
