Mommy Brain
Yup, it's there. Somewhere my normally functioning brain is taking a vacation. I missed my OB appointment this week. Not because I was busy, but just because I forgot about it until tonight...only to realize it was Monday morning. And what was I doing Monday morning? Working in the yard.
I went today to get my blood work done this afternoon (along with my son who ate everything I brought him in about the first five minutes we were sitting in the waiting room). I was supposed to wait until my OB ordered my next round of blood work and have it drawn with that, but not remembering I had an OB appointment this week and knowing I am seeing my rheumatologist on Friday, I thought it prudent to get the blood work done. That way, when I discuss my new sweating symptom and show her how my knuckles are splitting in multiple places because my hands are SO dry, she can look at my SSA and SSB levels and see if anything has changed.
I've also decided to start taking my Plaquenil every morning (instead of every other morning) as I can't remember any longer whether or not I took it the day before...and as the fatigue hasn't gotten any better, there's probably no harm in seeing if it gets worse upping the dose. We'll see what the outcome is. At least this way I'm not guessing whether or not it's a day to take the medication.
