Well as some of you know I am back on Methotrexate as well as Enbrel to see if both can control pain a bit better. As always was and am worried about the side effects like anyone would be but there is an upside:

I am having that many hot flushes it feels like I am in Barbados so have decided when this happens to close my eyes (unless I am driving) and imagine I am on a sunlounger with my music playing and a cocktail at the side of me!!!!!

What do you think will it work, ha ha. :lol:

And if the passports don't come in time it may be as close as going overseas as I can get. xxxx :cry: xxx

    Good plan!!

    I must try that visualisation technique.. But mine would be lying by the pool of a 5 star hotel in Italy, looking out over the Bay of Naples, and sipping a large gin and bitter lemon.. (oh blow it, it is Friday night, so i think I will chance just a small gin and bitter lemon .. and close my eyes!)

    What a great idea, don't have a cocktail but I think a Malibu and coke would go down well now off to get one. X
