Don't hold the Mayo!

I spent a good amount of the day talking to the nurse from my current doctor at Park Nicollet passing back and forth notes to the Doctor like I was in 4th grade. The current drug, which is called Sulfasalazine, has not been working out for me. I've been on it since Monday afternoon and I have not been improving at all. Its actually getting worse.

I did contact the Mayo clinic today to try to setup an appointment down there. They are widely considered the best butt doctors in the world, so I'm looking forward to being able to get down there. I dont have an appointment yet, first they need to get my records from Park Nicollet and then in 3-5 days I should get a call after they review the records.

I'm going back on the steroid Prednisone tonight. Last time, this is the drug that did the trick to get me fixed up, but it also is a powerful drug that can have some wicked side effects. At the time I was taking it last year, I was severely anemic as well, so its possible that I blamed some of the symptoms of being anemic on the Prednisone. All I know right now, is its worth the risk to get back on the Prednisone now.
