Tuesday, saw Jason Eckel, the fourth doc in the group whom I'd not met prior. Again, for those of you who follow the numbers:
Creatinine 2.34, good news indeed as ~50% of last week's number.
BUN 51
Eosinophiles 12% light reading for you, heh, heh,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil_granulocyte
Potassium still a tiny bit high. Dr. Eckel suggested I increase salt intake to reduce potassium. I salted some vegetables at a meal, no way, couldn't tolerate the saltiness.
I discussed the itch episodes I've experienced. Might be some vanco running around loose. Prescribed a tapering dose of prednisone, 40mg/day 2 weeks, 30 2 weeks, 20 2 weeks.
I had itch episode in T.J.'s parking lot Tuesday. Fortunately, we'd just bought more Eucerin anti-itch cream in pharmacy. We stopped at T.J.'s for groceries. Sun had come out full and temp had climbed, when I stepped out of car into sun, I started to itch all over. I ripped off my shirt had GJ appling creme to my itching back. I'm so skinny, my pants slipped off my hips so there I was in parking lot in skivvies with pants around my ankles screaming for more cream. Who should drive into the adjoining parking place ... Nancy Knight ... to observe the whole scene.
Scheduled next visit four weeks out. Will be no blood lab until then so no stats.
