Hi,
I've been to the doctors and I confess that after a long wait, I went in and spilled all my other problems that we've had with my niece and her husband and the feeling that my family has gone know Chrissie has left the house I've known and used as the centre of my family since my Mum died 23 years ago. My Mum lived just across the road from my niece for years, now that link is finally over. Although I still have friends, 1 in particular, who live in the same road!

Then we discussed my scan on Monday. She did a review for my HRT (BP and weight, thats all). So I just mentioned my arthritis getting worse and she said wait for a while, after Christmas and then when things in my life are settled more then I and the rhemmy will get a better idea of what is going on. She thinks it could all be linked and a flare that is natural with stress. Things are, at the moment going very well with my niece, who is settled and happy today when a friend visited and phoned us to tell us how pleased she was.
Sorry to go on so, but I thought those who've read my other posts might like to know and also that good care homes can be a new lease of life for some people. Also my councilling is going well and has been very helpful.
Lots of love Sue xxxxx

    Hi Sue
    That is just what you needed to get everything out...its not good to keep things in, I can tell from your post that you are feeling easier in yourself...and I am really glad..you deserve to.
    lI do agree it could be linked to all the stress you have had, you seem to have such a good GP,so that must make such a difference.
    You take care...and please let us know how you are getting on xx
    Love
    Barbara
