I went off to the hospital today to see the rheumatology nurse. It was a reasonable appointment I suppose, I had my wish for Xrays on my knees granted - she agreed that yes, it is time to check for damage - she has told me I am to have a bone scan (I have just started my fifth year of oral steroids and want to come off those little darlings) so if I don't hear about that soon I shall chase, I am to go to the GP about my BP (up again, it's the meds so yup, more meds to deal with the effects of other meds - the words 'circle' and 'vicious' spring to mind) and I have to ask about anti-depressants too. Fine by me but it can all wait until I can be bothered. Let's get Easter, Kate and Wills and Bank Holidays done and dusted as I suspect that doctors' apppointments will be very thin on the ground plus I do not feel any sense of urgency whatsoever. Oh, she liked my 'Tired' poem - she wants to put it up on the rheumaholiday notice board! Fame at last - please form an orderly queue for autographs. DD

    Right, trumpet-blowing and drum-banging of the worst sort: if you want to read the poem it's on page 14 (I think) on the poetry sticky on CC. I saw the same nurse again yesterday afternoon (see the Arthritis Maze thread about that) and the poem (in my original scrawl) was up on her wall. caterina, I hope you start to feel better soon - there are quite a few coughs and colds about, Poppy can tell you about that, as can Mr DD!
