I had more bloodwork done yesterday and everything is in range except for my platelet count, which is still low from my 6MP encounter. But the good news is that it is slowly climbing.
On Monday I reduced my prednisone to 15 mg/day per doctor's instructions and will continue to taper down 5mg every two weeks.
I've felt pretty good for the last couple of days. While the hookworm timeline says this about the right time for a "worm bounce" (a sudden improvement in symptoms) I actually attribute feeling a bit better to the lower prednisone dose. Prednisone makes me feel really wired and each time I have lowered my prednisone dose, I've felt a little calmer.
