Just got back from three docs!

Ok so here is the latest. I decided to get a second opinion. My doctor is good, but he wanted to stop TX because of the ulcerated mouth issue. Anyway, the new doc said that i was doing great, all my numbers are good, He said that my riba dosage is way to high for my body weight (i'm taking 1000 mg and i weight 105lbs) he said the dosage should be at the most 800 mg. He also said that cutting some of the riba may help with the unbearable rash.
It thought the doc i am currently seeing is doing ok, it would be up to me if i wanted to change.
Then i saw my primary, she said, Why do they have you on all these drugs?
besides the TX
wellbutrin
ambian
valium
something for itching that doesnt work
and somethine for acid reflux
Her opinion come off wellbutrin, ambian and the itching meds that dont work.
For sleep Take a valium if needed . for itching very small dosage of Prozac.
also saw GYN (Itching) TMI but for you ladies who are experiencing this for me it wasn't from riba, it was bacterial and its because our immune system is so low we can get any little thing. he gave me something that worked immediately.
so next week i go back to my original doc, see the look on face that i was second guessing him and see what happens next....to be continued.
peace

I am a 106, started out at 122, and 1,000 riba, I haven't lowered mine, I know it more than what weight based should be.
BUT, anything lower than i think 800 or 600 is not effective. So my choice is to keep it higher. This is third time for me though also, I am hitting it hard.
Keep us updated, curious and proud of you for advocating for yourself!
