Week 9, 10 11, 12

Rash returned 4 days after i stopped the Prednisone. Headed to Gastros office, who sent me to a dermotologist. Dermo not sure the cause,i'm allergic to something, but would help me manage, so i can continue tx. He gave me a shot of cortisone, which will last 7 weeks ( i will repeat every 7 weeks ) and prescription for daily antihistimines, which is now keeping the reaction at bay. Had my 12th jab Friday May 11th and will have the 12 week PCR blood work at the end of that week,Friday May 18th, that checks the viral load in my blood. This is the big week. i have to be undetectable for the virus in order to continue tx. Those who aren't undetectable at 12 weeks have a 2% chance of clearing the virus, if continued. So doesn't make much sense because of the side effects and with those odds, insurance won't pay. If undetectable, i have a 37% chance. So sitting , waiting, praying and hoping i get to continue.

Sitting on the front porch

ice cream in my hand

melting in the sun
