Finally turning the corner

Hubby did go to a doctor Tuesday who took a bunch of blood tests and such.  His heart is fine, no diabetes, etc.  He suggested hubby stop taking the Prednisone period.  That drug really was not good for him at all. He also referred him to a different dermatologist. He went to that doctor who basically told him the Prednisone was the best thing for him to take. Hubby refused to take it any more and was mad that this doctor just said the opposite of what his internal medicine doctor just told him a few hours before!  Anyway this dermatologist called in a different prescription and mentioned a few other OTC drugs he could take.  He decided not to pick up the prescription nor the other meds.  We both agreed he should just not take anything and let his body just work to get rid of whatever gave him such an allergic reaction. Turns out that was the best thing yet.We may never know what made him get like this.
 
After more than 2 weeks of dealing with a horrible rash and then effects of prednisone then getting off of it, hubby is finally feeling and looking better today.  He still has some bumps but not as many as he has and the mood swing (his 'you wouldn't like me when I get angry') mood is gone and he no longer has the severe stomach pains.  He had a few last night during the night but they didn't last long.  Here's some pictures that I took yesterday.  The darker red dot on his shoulder is where I removed the stitches from his biopsy.  He still has the few in his leg.  Looks bad doesn't it?   Like I said he is a lot better today finally.

The doctor he went to on Tuesday called hubby today.  He got the blood tests back and he does have some issues with cholesterol, vitamin D deficiancy and pre-diabetes blood sugar but those are all things he can work on.  His eating habits are horrendous so none of this surprises me.  He did pick up some vitamin D supplements today and has started them.  We'll see if he sticks to a better diet.  Two of his favorite foods are sausage and hot dogs.  LOL!
