Hi All, Went and saw my Rhummy Nurse yesterday after calling her about more pain in my joints since being back from my holiday. She did dicuss putting me on Sulphazaline if my bloods showed raised inflammatory levels still when I saw her. Well my inflammatory levels have dropped for the 1st time in over 8mnths!! She checked my joints and there was some swelling in my right hand, my ankles and feet where swollen. My main other joints where just tender. So she was pleased and thought she would hold fire on the Sulphazaline as the increase in Hydro was obviously helping. So over all I would say that appointment was extremely positive!! :)

    That does sound positive, if you can hold off on the stronger meds that is always a good thing. DD

    Very good that the inflamm levels have dropped. No point in adding more to the mix when things are already heading in the right direction.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
