Another question - could the tremors that started last week be an exacerbation? Especially since it's a new thing that came on quickly?

The past few weeks have been bad, first edema, then hives, now tremors. The Prednisone did make me feel better, but it was a low dose. I keep reading "oh you'll know it", but to me these things, especially the tremors, are a huge red flag. My speech isn't that great, I've noticed I've stuttered again over the last couple weeks. I have to keep telling my husband to let me talk and give me time to get out what I need to say.

All this is hypothetical, but since I'm going to just my PCP tomorrow, I like to be prepared in what I need to tell him. If it's an exacerbation, wouldn't it be beneficial to deal with it asap? So it doesn't get worse? I need to be firm with him on what I want to do. Or do I just treat the symptoms still?

Thanks all. You should have heard the cup I was just holding, it sounded like a rattle or maraca with all the ice in it.
