Thanks for your support Guys
As you said i had 45 mins with the consultant who said she can make me better , xray, and blood tests i was there 5 hours , i am on 5mg of prednisolone 4 tabs every morning reducing each week .methotexate 6 to be taken evey friday morning .and 1 folic acid tab saturday mornings .More bloods in 2 weeks and then another visit to see consultant .Crud it was such a long day i was really tired when i left , then as i could not get a parking place outside had to use hospital cp £8.00 i feel this is outrageous for patients , i would have spit feathers but i felt like crying instead .Mr fowls will come with me next time 2 heads are better than one .
many thanks too you all .

£8 That's disgusting!
Hope the meds start to kick in for you soon and help you feel better will keep my fingers metaphorically crossed for you0 -
Well done for getting through it, Karen
The first appointments tend to be pretty daunting, so it's great that Mr Fowls will be with you next time.
I agree, £8 for parking is outrageous!
Hope you start to make good headway on the new meds soon.
Best wishes,

Well done you karen!
sounds like a good apt. Parking very very annoying though :roll:
Yep Mr Folws shall have to come next time, but YOU did really well.
Fingers crossed the meds help you
Love

Glad you had a good appointment with follow up. Yes, it's always easier to remember stuff if you can take someone else but that's the first one out of the way.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
