I was happily surprised to have a chat with Poppy today, it was a good chance to catch up but she, alas, is well and truly in the wars.

In addition to the PsA she has now been diagnosed with RA and fibro. She is in and out of hospital all this week having various treatments and is very sorry that she hasn't been on here for so long but hey, I reckon she has enough on her plate at the moment, don't you? I think it is unusual to have both PsA and RA but it's not unknown - it's not affecting her treatment but it was s shock to discover the RA.

I asked her if she wanted me to let those who remember her know and she said yes please - she does look in from time to time but doesn't feel she can be of support or use to anyone at the current time because she herself is well and truly under the arthritic cosh.

Take care, Poppy, get through this week of treatment, rest when you can and I sincerely hope that a new med (or combination of meds) can be found and tried which actually DOES something positive for you. I wish you well. DD

    Hi Poppy. Am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time and do hope you will be feeling a little better soon. Perhaps DD would be kind enough to pass this message on to you? You sound as though you have more than enough to cope with at the moment. Will be thinking of you. Take care. Beryl ((()))

    Hell's bells, does it ever end for poor Poppyg1rl? When she last contacted me, if I understood her correctly, they were thinking wrong diagnosis ie RA not PsA. I certainly didn't think she meant both. Poor lass!

    I hope the week will bring something productive for her. She has always been such a support to others. If you see this, I am thinking of you very much, Poppyg1rl.

    Thank you everyone for your kindness and support it means so much to me.
    Things are tough... but I have wonderful family and friends, great faith and I know I'll get there in the end.
    Thank you again my friends, hopefully the new meds will begin to ease the flare and I will be back here soon.

    Hi Poppygirl, I've not been posting much but do pop on when I get a chance. I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a rough time of it. Hopefully they'll get things sorted out and you'll soon be on the mend. It must be so tiring up and down from the hospital all the time, on top of the tiredness you must already be feeling. Just wanted to send you warm hugs and good vibes. Hang in there, things will soon get better for you.
