Two things of note this week.
Bloods: I had the most recent round of bloods back and my elevated liver enzyme score has moved further back into the normal range so will be kept an eye on for now. Another test in 2 months.
Drugs: As of Thursday I will stop taking Prednisolone (and associated Calcichew-D3 and Lanzoprazole) and will only be taking Azathioprine. This will certainly make life simpler from the managing medication point of view. It will be great to be off cortico-steroids completely after 9 months even though I have had fewer side-effects than many people. Unless future blood-tests (or a relapse) necessitate a change in medication I guess this will be it for a while - in the sense of taking Azathioprine long-term - until more is known about treatment strategies for CLIPPERS.
