    Good job I'd already drunk my glass of wine (yes, thats right, the one I shouldn't be drinking when on methotrexate) otherwise it may have ended up over his head x:roll: .

    Bless him, its all new to him, I think I need to give him some info leaflets to read. He is now busy looking it all up on the internet and has gone a whiter shade of pale.

    Was it such a stupid question? I have to say I don't think so - people associate being ill and taking meds with getting better and rightly so because that is usually the case but for us, alas, maybe a different set of rules applies. It's a steep learning curve for everyone involved. DD

    No, not really a stupid question - it just made me laugh. You're right, its been a MASSIVE learning curve for me this year - getting there, just, but mostly because of the help and advise from people on here, for which I thank them all.

    I don't mind the , " when or will you get better ? " ; the one that really riles me is , " I had that but it's better now ! " Always want to say if you've truly found a cure for RA or any other form of arthritis , then please don't keep it to yourself any longer ! Jillyb

    I think you deserve a glass of wine Resusjan, it'll make you more reflective and mellow and ready for the next question.

    (I had alcohol whilst on Mtx and was fine - just thought I'd add that with it being Christmas and all x:-D )

    Luv,
    Love, Legs x

    Have a habit of not being able to find my car keys or mobile (who doesn't).Usual response is 'where did you leave them last'.If I knew the answer to that they wouldn't be lost!
    Any others relate to this?
