Hi Everyone I hope every one is as well as can be.


HIGH
Just a quick update really. I have been off painkillers and anti inflams since Christmas now and coping extremely well. I went to see Rheumy consultant this week and he can't believe the difference since last time I saw him he is so pleased with my progress and does not want to see me for 4 months. But I am to continue with the Methotrexate and Folic Acid.

LOW

Just been informed today that from the 18th April I am redundant, due to Pharmacy closure. I am gutted.

Love n Hugs

SheilaD xx

    So sorry to hear about the redundancy Sheila D. It's a sign of the times is'nt it, so many small businesses are closing.
    Good to hear Arthur is behaving. Did you decided to stop your tablets yourself and did you do it gradually? I ask because I'm trying to stop the Lyrica in the mornings for the past week although I'm still taking the night dose. The tiredness I've been having is too much.

    Hi Everyone

    Many Thanks for your comments. I stopped the painkillers myself just after Christmas, not looked back since.

    I am hoping to be redeployed as they call it but will have to wait and see. In the meantime I am looking for work.


    Once again Many Thanks for your support and kindness.

    Love n hugs

    Great news that the meds are doing their job, SheilaD. I'm so sorry about the work situation and I hope you can find another job soon.
