July 25, 2007-trying to figure out cause of rash

I had another doctor appointment yesterday afternoon. He’s having me stop a bunch of the medications & things I take to try & find out what’s causing the rash. One of the things I get to stop is the Lovenox, which is the blood thinner shot I would give myself every morning & night. I am so glad that one’s done with. No more shots for me. I take a medication for the next 6 months to prevent a type of pneumonia transplant people like me are susceptible to. I also take a medication every 12 hours for the next year to prevent shingles. I have another doctor appointment Friday. We’re waiting on the results of my blood draw to see if we need to adjust the amount of Coumadin I take as a blood thinner.
