Some guys have commented about it at work, taking a while to get from a to be b and the fancy limp along with the grumpy face because iam shattered and broken, ive explained iam going through a bit of a flare from arthritis.…
I know its a little early as he could have several months to wait for his right hip op I was wondering what sort of pjs would be best to have for after the op, he said he didn't need any he will just use the ones he has BUT he has had them a long while can't let him go to hospital with his backside nearly hanging out.

Having had a rather up and down few months, with my RA misbehaving for the last 6 months on top of all kinds of other rubbish going on around me, the rheumatology team are pondering prescribing Abatacept to try and keep things on a more even keel. I currently take Plaquinel, Sulphasalazine and Leflunomide, but have a…
The Great Shut-Down is on the horizon so now is the time to be counting, calculating and ordering your medications to tide you over the festive period. I'm sorted for everything apart from the cocos so I shall buy some OTC feebles in case of disaster. DD
