I just got off the phone with the nurse practitioner who is covering for Dr. Abdelrazek. She thinks the reason the PT place yesterday said they don't do that is that the doctor put "for MS" in the referral, so she is writing a new referral that just says "balance therapy," and sending it to an office across the street from Mt. Auburn Cemetery (same building as my dermatologist).
She told me to either call the office or send a MyChart message to her and/or Dr. Abdelrazek if I don't hear from either the PT office or her office by next week.
She then told me about some blood test results that I'd gotten via MyChart, on blood taken immediately before my last Ocrevus infusion. Three immunoglobulin numbers. Two were in the green "normal" range. and the immunoglobulin M is a little low. But the difference between this 45 and the 47 from six months ago probably doesn't mean anything. Monitor, but as long as I'm not getting many infections don't need to change anything. (The "normal" range on this one starts at 50.)
Also, I picked up my new steroid inhaler about an hour ago. The instructions are complicated enough, and different enough from how I use the albuterol, that I am going to reread them, and also get![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude to read them over, before I do anything. The instructions are to use it twice a day, morning and evening; 4:00 is not "evening," and I will probably use the first dose after dinner tonight.
