:D Hi everyone it's been a long while since I have been on here, I have now been diagnosed with Paraprotein and was just wondering if anyone has it or knows anything about it, I think it is to do with antibodies so may have something to do with the arthritis, have been told they have to keep an eye on it. Nice to be back.

    Hello dear Rosie :D

    I remember you well with all the hip ops you have had. You kept horses and they were your life and you were devasted when you were no longer able to ride and look after them. It sticks in my mind because it must have been awful for you and probably still is. That seems ages ago that you were on the site, quite regularly as I recall.

    It is good to have you back in the fold. I do hope you will stay.

    I have never heard the name paraprotein and will google it later as I am nosy like that!

    Hope to see your name around the site,

    Luv
    Elna x

    Hi, Nice to hear from you again. I'm sorry, but I've no idea what that means! Its a shame that the medics don't explain these complicated terms they use! Hope someone on here knows. :wink:
    Love Sue

    Thanks it's good to be back, and yes Elna you are right about the horses what a brilliant memory you have. I suppose I will find out what it means eventually just annoying that they dont tell you in a language you can understand.! Take care all and speak soon,

    Rosie

    Hi again Rosie,

    Even on the internet, when I googled, it was all a bit technical :oops: You will have to insist that they explain in to you in our language, not theirs! :lol::lol:

    I am glad you have returned. I hope you do not go away again for such a long time.

    I hope you are feeling ok today. Look forward to seeing your name on the forum as and when.

    Love
