a little good...a little not so good

rheumatologist visit today cut back some on the prednisone as the PMR (polymyalgia rheumatica) seems to be a bit less troublesome..... it's hard to tell as the medication to prevent cancer recurrence that i am taking causes joint pain as does PMR.
not so good - the swelling in my hand and arm from the lymphedema seems worse while wearing the sleeve and glove so something isn't right....need to find out why....
also he prescribed a new pain medication which the pharmacy discovered can cause seizures if taken with the medications i am already taking..... so can't have it.....
back to the tylenol which i am taking way too much of as it can raise havoc with one's liver.....
one step forward.....one step back....the roller coaster ride continues.....
