Short story:
Thanks to my brother in law for greasing the wheels at UW, nice to have a doctor in the family. 😉
After initial rapid response to boosted Prednisone and addition of Mycophenolate, body plateaued as far as sore improvement. Appetite, on the other hand, has continued to soar through the roof, in part because I’m not getting a signal from the stomach that it’s full. Whether this is the drug(s) or reduced saliva due to not chewing … unknown. Energy is better (fewer naps). I’ve regained a couple of pounds. And had my first setback.
