After over a year and a half we now have an official relapse.
At the end of June her proteins spiked, but they came back down on their own, which is great. But early July they went back up again and have stabilized at a 3 now for a couple of weeks.
Due to a new baby coming and an unexpected family funeral, I had postponed notifying the clinic, hoping she would resolve on her own. She was not swelling, or sick, and I took her to the Dr for a blood pressure check and it was good, so I continued to put off calling. But today I decided I needed to notify the clinic and find out where we go from here.
Her nurse, Debbie, was very understanding. We talked about where we are at, how things have gone, and then determined that the best thing to do at this point is to put her back on the prednisone, using a relapse schedule, and we would schedule an in-clinic appointment after things have settled down a little around here after the new baby comes (hopefully this week).
So, back on the "icky medicine". Glad she can swallow the pills instead of having the liquid.
