    Hi
    I'm glad to hear you've got an appointment. Hopefully things will get sorted out for you soon.

    I've got my appointment at the end of this month and I'm nervous about it! I shouldn't be ... but you hear so many things all I want is someone to help me.

    Do take care.

    Hi Val,

    Well done for plucking up the courage and going to see your GP. I can't understand why you stopped your tablets though, do you feel they won't believe you're ill? You must have felt rough whilst you were taking your meds - so maybe you need a different prescription.

    Hope your Rheumy helps you.

    Luv Legs :)
    Love, Legs x
