PFT and chest X-ray came back normal. I’m just out of shape 😕
My rheumatologist told me he tested me for a couple scleroderma antibodies and they came back negative. Most importantly the scl-70 came back negative.
He has also decided to wean me off my methotrexate. Instead of my usual 7 pills a week, I will now be taking 4 😁. I check back in with him in a month to see how I’m holding up.
For the past two weeks, I’ve taken it upon myself to do better. Every weekend I’m bowling to increase my arm strength (I’m starting easy…and fun). Every day I walk up to the 4th floor at my job to build my leg muscles. It’s getting easier everyday 😊

I’m so glad! My PFT suggests early lung disease (and asthma??) so I see the pulmonary specialist tomorrow. The only saving grace was telling myself that I wasn’t just out of shape. 🙂 I’m still doing as many stairs and walking as I can.
