well had appointment with rhummy nurse today first time i have met her she was lovely we talked about what i am on and about stomach prob. we decided not to start methotrexate till i know what going on with stomach so back to see her on 18th next month with luck will know then had bloods done ready and she said we can start it at next app. so feel positive will give me a month to stop hrt yes going on methotrexate scares me but feeling like this and swollen feet worse.
asked her if he had given it a name but no still down as inflimation arthiritis lol she says some times they never find out which it is lol val

    I'm really pleased you had a good appointment Val. It's a good thing you like your Rheumy nurse. I really like mine, in fact I find her more helpful than the consultant!
    I hope you get on alright with the Meth once your stomach is sorted.
    All the best,
    Numpty

    I have a favourite rheumatologist nurse, she is knowledgeable and knows me well. I see her in between each consultant appointment - and occasionally up the pub too! I am pleased to hear it was a positive appointment Val, I'm not sure how stopping the HRT will affect you but sometimes we have to do without to be able to do with. It's not fair but then whoever said life should be was a twerp. :roll: I hope the meth does summat to help, I really do. DD
