Wow, What a 5 Months!

No wonder age 50 has made me feel like I’m 150 at times. In just 5 months, I’ve seen just about every kind of doctor out there. I’m trying to discover the true source of my skin outbreaks. I’m trying to discover whether my osteoporosis has advanced. I’m trying to see what has deteriorated any further in my lower back. Plus, they are seeing if I’ve developed any autoimmune disease.

I’m doing pretty well all things considered. I definitely feel my Dupixent shots are helping my skin outbreaks. Surprisingly, my nerve pain has been kept under control. I’m two weeks away from getting another steroid injection. I just have other things that keep surprising me.

By the end of May, here are all the doctor appointments and procedures I’ve gotten done in just the past five months.

I praise God for His provision, strength, and peace. I should really know a lot more about my overall health later sometime in June. I’ve already met my yearly deductible so things are a lot more affordable now. I’m truly grateful for where things are considering all the ways my health has been threatened.

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 NLT
