I saw my rheumatology consultant today and she, beautiful lady,
said my das result means I can continue stabbing myself with humira
which is working as well this time round as it did before. A bonus is that
it also helps against my crohns disease which is a sort of bogof.
She also gave me a steroid injection into my painful shoulder and is
arranging some physio for me.
When I got home my wife said my son had phoned to confirm he had
booked a holiday in the sun with him and his family next year - something
nice to think of as a distraction technique.
All in all, despite the rain, not a bad day.

    That sounds like a good news package, Ichabod, and I'm very pleased for you. Thanks for letting us know.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi. Glad to hear you have had a better day, I have too. It makes such a difference doesn't it? That's great that you have a nice holiday to look forward to and something to think about when you are feeling a bit 'down' with all the pain etc. Where are you off to? I've also got something to look forward to as my Son has booked a lovely holiday for us both - not until the end of next year - but well worth waiting for - a Caribbean Cruise on Queen Mary 2 for Christmas and New Year. We have both become 'cruise-a-holics' over the past 5 years. Hope tomorrow is another 'better' day for you. Beryl.
