Back to Work

Monday, March 23rd was Doug's first day back to work.
He did not need to use his Short Term Disability after all.

MEDICATION UPDATE:
He is currently taking 7.5mg of prednisone
He will taper to 5mg of prednisone on Sunday, March 29th.
He will take this until he sees Dr Cohen on April 15th.

He continues to take the Zoloft and Ativan and he will discuss the length of this treatment
with Dr Cai at this appointment on April 2nd.
He is doing ALOT better this week !!!
His mood is better, his anxiety is better and his energy level has increased.

HEARING UPDATE:
He also has an appointment with Dr Kutz the ENT physician at UTSW.
He will have a hearing test to see how well the 3 ear injections he has received
over the past few weeks has affected his hearing.
I notice he has not asked me to repeat things as often so I'm hoping for great news!
