Met up with the rheumatologist Tuesday... Basically, not much to report. Autoimmune levels are a bit questionable but not threatening. Liver levels are a concern. Vitamin D levels are way too low. Rheumatoid factors are not much a worry. So, another round of Vitamin D for eight weeks, then blood work for liver and Vitamin D, then another follow-up in three months. Gave me a prescription for Prednisone to help with the flare-ups as needed. So, nothing major/evil/life-threatening at least.

Had a follow-up blood draw for the liver levels which came back with lowered liver levels. The only change has been that I did not renew the Neurontin prescription since that wasn't doing any thing and I am waiting for results back from the rheumatologist.
Rehearsals out at Fort Lincoln have been a bit of challenge. Well, just only the walk to the theatre, which is a quarter mile from the parking lot.
As far as the tingling and such, I've enjoyed a few weeks of relatively-speaking blissful quietness. Then it came back. Yesterday was a chore walking about. The only good spot on my left foot was my big toe. The right heel and achilles tendon area were buzzing. Both feet were quite hot. And of course, a few electric jolts. Knew I would not be able to sleep, so took a hydrocodone, and was awake from two in the morn until well past four fidgeting and tossing and turning and trying to find some comfortable spot.
Emailed in to work that I would be late, needed to get a couple more hours of some sleep. Had a client coming in at noon. At least the left foot decided to share the joy with other parts of the bod -- right calf and right thumb and forearm. Made it in by ten, and about eleven found out that the client would not be able to make it in today. So, groggy and tingly.
Next Tuesday, I await. Hopefully the results will be in, and a plan to fruitfully deal with this stuff will commence...
