Hi Guys & Girls, As you know I went to see the Rhummey on Monday afternoon, firstly can I say a huge thank you for pocket duties!! The consultant had a good look at me as he had never seen me before when I was suffering a flare up so it helped him to understand how bad things can get. And after a long descusion we agreed I to trying the Steroid Injection. So I have had my 1st injection! (No one warned me how big the needle was!) So there was I chatting to the rhummey Nurse and boom! She lifts her hand, I nearly fainted! Then I was a brave soldier, it did sting alittle. But I was glad she gave me a couple of leaflets explaining what it was all about. But since Tuesday I have been suffering a few of the side effects, flu type symptoms, upset stomach and headaches. Starting to feel more like me now, The consultant said I could feel a difference as soon as the weekend, so fingers crossed it will make a difference! Will keep you informed!

    I hope you are soon feeling the benefits of the injection and not having nightmares about the size of the needle! Good job nobody told you, maybe. Take care.

    Hope it helps.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I do hate needles! Getting there still got flu symptoms, and feel tired. But not as bad as it was! And as a treat for myself and my next door neighbour (who pops in on me in the week to check on me) we're going to see breaking dawn part2 on Monday, she's a Twilight fan because of me!!

    Hope the injection worked.
    Best joke I ever read, "With that information and a diagnosis of spondylosis, your doctor can develop a treatment plan‏" or back in reality totally ignore you. Is ok I have a sense of humour and a boxing glove, not defeated yet.
