I came to see my doctor who is now holding most of his clinic hours at St. Luke’s in Global City. The travel was a bit painful considering that the summer has kicked in. One hour already late for my appointment, I still waited for an hour for my turn. My turn has come and the doctor was pretty pleased with my latest lab result. Just the same I did not tell him that I no longer take two of his prescribed medications. The reason why I was there was so that I could get the medical advice on properly tapering the steroids.
He noted that my urine protein and blood (hematuria) are at +1 from +3. They should be negative of course. My cholesterol level is just 5 points above the normal. Although he scribbled on his prescription pad the same medications. I still do not plan to take in those medications except for the steroids, sinvastatin and losartan potassium. I might consider taking in some protein powder to replenish the one that I waste in my urine.
