    you may have had a number for a rheumy nurse, if not then ring up and ask for the secretary for your rheumy doctor.

    Im always on the phone to my Rumy nurse :shock:
    Im not sure if you have a book for blood results, but all my numbers are in that...
    Most of the time it goes to answer machine but they ALWAYS ring me back...they give me lots of advice and rush thro appointments if theres a need....
    Contact them...they usually give great support...

    Glad you are feeling a bit better, Val.......it's not very pleasant outside here, we seem to have a cold drizzle at the moment.

    Take care and take it easy.

    Love

    Hi
    Sorry you're not feeling too good. This weather dosn't help, I think we've had at least a little snow most days since before Christmas, though luckily we missed the worst of the deep snow! :wink: Take care. Love Sue

    Hi Val

    If you know the name of your consultant, then ask to speak to his secretary. That's what I do, and sometime, my consultant has rung me himself.

    good luck

    Val, can't answer that one, but why don't you see if you can speak to your doc on the phone? That way you won't need an apppointment for one question........

    That sounds a bit confusing, Val. Do they mean that you have an inflammatory arthritis as well as the OA?
