2:49 PM - Infusion Confusion - Wheres the Beef?
I did not go to the infusion center today. I called Dr. O’Connell’s office and spoke with her assistant this morning since I had not heard anything. She said she was glad I called and that they wanted to run more blood tests. I asked if they could just use what I had given yesterday and she acted like she never would have thought of that. She is submitting for the following tests:
-Sedimentation Rate
-Rheumatoid Factor
-Align Tighter (sp?)
-ANA (which the Dr. assistant did not know what this was)
I asked when I was supposed to report to the infusion center and when the prescribed drugs were to be taken. They said that they were waiting for a call back from the infusion center to make arrangements. I asked them to call them back and not wait. As of 3:45pm I have not heard anything.
The Prednisone is to be taken starting the day after the last steroid infusion. The EpiPen is to be used if I am out and have a ‘reaction’.
The infusion center is:
