morning folks.
Wondered if I could ask for pocket duties today?
Got my long awaited Rheumy appointment at half nine this morning.
No idea what they'll do but hoping that they do SOMETHING...
I've actually had a busy weekend :shock: Been to a party over the road saturday night and a christening yesterday sooooooo... I'm really suffering now, maybe a good thing eh?

Right, suppose I should make a move.

by eck, you folks are making a right effort for me.. Thank you all..
I've taken Janet to work, picked Toni up from her work after her night shift.. Now sat at hers with her and the seven cats
I think if I went home I'd be VERY tempted to go to sleep after another rough night.

Spitoon gratefully accepted Del, will fill it from DD's flasks

daylily

I'm in pocket too Tony.

Just thought- Have you got one of those coats with 'poacher's pocket'? You'd get a lot more of us in then.......

morning Daylily...
I've got a pair of seventies patch pockets. Lol
Remember them? I had a pair with about seven pockets in, all around a foot square..
I'm bringing Ra with me to keep any of the rowdy ones under control.

Well, talk about support :shock:
Thanks everyone...

He has done xrays on the hands, and ordered ultra sound scans for hands and elbows.. Says he wants me to start on Methotrexate after I get back from my hols so that if I have bad side effects it won't ruin it.. I am down for a two month appointment to discuss starting that..
I told him that it was definately the sulfa making me lose weight.. Also told him how well it works for the IBS/IBD so I didn't want to stop it altogether.. He said that I would stay on it along with the meth.
He examined the joints, no sign of any swelling but then again I have never had much, just the hands and knees puffing up a bit..

I am absolutely shattered now and must rest.. Things are rather painful to say the least.

Oh, I have also had my pain clinic appointment through finally, for the radio lesion therapy on my spine and pulse radio therapy on the knees.. That's on the 29th June, so if it's ok I will book you lot nice and early


THANK YOU

dreamdaisy

This is sounding rather good mate, pain clinic, scans and new meds. Please be conscientious about the blood tests once you begin the meth, they are a nuisance but an important nuisance. Rest up now, OK? (()) DD

tjt6768

Bless your heart DD... I know how you worry
Yes, sounding positive eh?
I am currently having the monthly bloods done for the sulfa but I know that will probably be more regular at the start of the meth. It's all in a good cause, ie ME lol..

Thanks hun..


I am snoozing..

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

stickywicket

It sounds good to me, too, O Snoozy One. I shall be there to annoy you for all your appts. I very much hope you get the same result with meth as I do.

traluvie

Sounds like it went well and they actually listened too.
Shall keep fingers crossed that it works well for you..
Take it easy now..x
