hello everyone, I hope your all well
Sorry i havent been around for a few days, possible a week... been having a nasty flare & just didnt have the strength!!

I have my appointment tomorrow with the rheumy!!! hoping things go well
I also had a letter from my council to say i couldnt have a BB based on my doctor report, phoned the gp and they didnt have any notes to say i had athritis at all!!!!! :roll: so need to get down to them to update them on the situation!!

Any who im gonna try and get some sleep before an early start so ill pop on 2moz and let u know how it goes

    Clare, good luck with your rhuemy appointment.
    i would ask the BB people if you can appeal as you gp did not have up to date records.

    People come and go all the time, 'tis the nature of the beast which is arthritis. It's nice to have you back. DD

    Hi Claire
    I hope the flare settles down soon, and I really do hope you get somewhere with the council, honestly where on earth do these reports end up.
    Good luck with everything,
    Sending you some hugs to keep you going ((((())))
    Love

    Hello again! Thank you so much for you best wishes!!

    Feeling a bit better now, first bad flare i've had and i.... well..... i pooped myself lol :eek:

    Rheumy has said not much he can comment on! Coz me and hubby are wanting kids he doesnt want to change my meds as they could affect fertility so ive been up'd from 4 to 6 Salazopyrin tabs a day, hopefully this will help ease the pain and the adverse chat about losing weight lol :roll:

    Spoke to the BB people and she was lovely, totally understood that the GP didnt have upto date records and as I have an appointment with him next week, i can get him to update everything and then let her know, and she will re-apply for an assessment from them.

    Im now going to tackle the DLA form! So many silly questions. And my main thing is how far i can walk! I have no idea :???: So guess i will have to guess lol Thankfully i can fill in the form online to save my hands :D

    Hope your all well xxx
    Claire
    Keep Smiling :D
