I am so grateful to you all for getting me back on the straight and narrow over the last few weeks. Times are still hard but I feel supported and encouraged that I can keep going. A trip to the hospital this week should shed some light on moving forward with a plan, and knowing that I can be honest on the board with lots of very kind people to help me along the way does wonders for positivity.

Thank you all

    I am going to start on the anti TNF humira soon so I will let you know when it arrives! The appointment went well and I scored even higher again on the DAS score - impossible almost!
    Joints are doing their very worst and I have done a bad job of pacing myself in the last week, whatever pacing is!
    As for the skivvy....well no one has applied so the hubby is going to job merge and be husband/skivvy job share :lol: - he says that it should be an easy sideways move as the job entails much of the same thing....will let you know how he does at his first review meeting :wink:
    How are you all?

    Hi stlucia

    Glad your appointment went well and hope the tnf treatment brings you great relief. I bet you can't wait to try it.

    Remember to give OH plenty of encouragement at the skivvy job even though its not quite as you would have done it, I fin a nice cuppa and a bun works wonders and they are ready for next job :lol:

    You take care

    DD, thanks so much. I feel sick due to pain and still at work but relying on someone else to give me a lift home so that I don't have to drive. All I can think about is my wax hand bath, painkillers and getting into bed.....oh and the humira winging its way to me soon!

    How are YOU doing though? I've been worried about you.
