redbird | telemedicine with Carmen (Reply)

I had telemedicine with my GP this morning. In no particular order:

She is giving me refills on the ritalin (the usual every-three-months thing) and the albuterol inhaler.
My next appointment will be in person in July, because she wants me to have a physical as well as the medication refill.
I can stop checking my blood pressure before taking the BP pills in the afternoon, and the current low dosage is still appropriate.
I almost forgot to mention that my left wrist has been bothering me,and squeezed that in at the very end of the appointment. Carmen thinks wearing the brace during the day as a reminder not to overdo things is a good idea. The thing is, my wrist keeps feeling better, and then I do something that I realize a little later I shouldn't have.
She did finally hear from someone at Tufts about my immune situation; the person left a message that was something like "I'm returning your call, and have no idea what you wanted to ask me." She did call them back, but learned nothing useful, and also nobody from Tufts ever called me. Not helpful. She thanked me for telling her about the monoclonal antibodies, and we're glad my neurologist was willing and able to get me those.
