hi had first visit with rhummy to day had to take meds i am on and water sample they did not look at any of them lol. had bloods done as no sign of flare up to day just as you would expect. but he listened and looked at me asked lots of questions so do feel it was worth it get app. for end of dec. unless bloods come back showing inflation so its the waiting game at least i did not feel he did not belive me so will not mind going back to see him

    HELLO
    I'm glad that it was quite a positive visit and you didn't feel that it was a waste of time. When they get the results back, they will be able to suggest more to help you, but at the moment its that horrible waiting game. :roll: Thats the bit I hate most, waiting!
    It sounds a a better visit than some people have anyway. Doctors don't always take us as seriously as they should. :wink: Love Sue

    I`m glad your appointment went well for you. It is reassuring when you feel you have been listened to. Hope your results don`t take too long to come back.

    Hi Val

    Glad you felt the appointment was worth it, I was wondering how you had got on. At least as you say he listened, and hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the blood results. Take care, I hope you feel some progress has been made and can now enoy your holiday. We will miss you in the cafe.
    Chris :)

    hi chris thanks bet results do not come back before i go away lol. well never mind do not want to change meds before just in case they do not suit any way. been looking at temp over there and and between 21 and 24 so far for next week going as low as 20 at night much better than we r getting so can not wait feel much better now that first visit over and he did not say i was wasting his time (i know i am not but not much to see so did not think he would belive me) silly i know but feel as if load has been lifted off my shoulders :-)

    Hi Val

    Glad the first appointment over with. That's the worst one. Now you can go away and enjoy yourself.

    Remember to make sure that you leave a coat or something warm to come home in it so easy to forget if you have had nice weather

    Have a nice holiday.

    love trisher xx

    Hi, I read your fleece as fleas, I though I'd stumbled on a new pain relief method or something, but had a picture of the feas hopping round and you trying to catch them. Sorry, I don't mean to insult you, but fleas at this time of year are always a problem with 5 cats, I think I've got them on the brain! :oops: :shock: :lol: Hope everything goes well for you. Love and appologies, Sue
