Another new medicine

My rheumatologist called probably 30 min ago, asking how I was doing.  I told him yesterday was really good, that the pain was still there but felt "muted".  But after 1-1.5 hrs this morning, the pain in the back of the arch/front of the heel is DEFINITELY bad again, mostly in my LEFT foot this time.  I did sit for most of Joanna's swim team practice, and it was easier to walk to the van, but I can still feel it there.  UGH.

So anyway, he wants me to try another NSAID, this time, RELAFEN

He said he is definitely going with primary Raynaud's syndrome as my diagnosis, as all my bloodwork came back fine (which we expected of course).

One step forward, 5 steps back.  At least I've had 2 good days in the last 3 weeks.
