So appointment finally arrived this morning for the 30th of august,which is about another 5 weeks,which means i have been waiting about 13 weeks since it was first said i was to have a scan and having no treatment apart from naproxen and steroids,so if the scan shows as suspected that there is no liver problems it will be several more weeks while i come off the steroids before i can start any other treatment.I have phoned to ask if they get a cancelation to let me know,but there is a list of people waiting for these as well.I see rhemmy nurse just over two weeks time so will see if she can help in any way.

    Me too, mig. I hope it will pass as quickly as possible.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I think Lignum the rules are 16 weeks or something like that :(

    Mig I am so sorry you will have waited so long on just the steroids.

    Hang on in there if you can. We are right here with you.

    Love and hugs
