    Hi DD,

    I know nothing about the drugs but think it a very sensible idea to pay the extra and have the majority of your things packed/unpacked. Surely this is a better option? I have moved a few times and have always found this a fantastic service.

    Good luck with your move whatever you decide and enjoy your new home! :D

    We are having the packing service for sure. Yesterday I met a very nice chap, to give the third and final quote, and he was the only one who took the arthritis into account. He came up with a number of suggestions about staggering the move, all of which were appealing as I will be staggering anyway. :lol: I will be doing all the little things such as ornaments, cadging fridge space for the humira and hiding my sharps bins in the back of my car. :wink: Bearing all of that in mind I can do without the pred.

    I am teetering on the brink of a flare, I spent yesterday afternoon in bed so I could cook, cooked, then promptly undid all my good resting work. :roll: Hey-ho, another day of snoozing then an easy dinner for The Husband. I don't need this right now but then we never need it, do we? DD

    Couldn't you just have a depo medrone jab? No tapering etc.

    this is a lot better option , problem with pred is you will have problems coming off them , ie big flare + the other problems steriods cause

    What a sensible plan DD. Hope the flare doesn't get too bad- snoozing as much as possible the way forward.

    I have never had any form of relief from a depo so won't bother with that. I know about coming off pred and that holds no fears either but as I won't be taking it it's no longer an issue. I do know about pacing and being sensible so I am sure I can manage the bits I have to do; what I cannot grasp, however, is the fact that healthy people will be able to move us in our entirety in one day - just how can that be done? :shock: :lol: DD

    No. If you know your physical limits work within them and get help as and when necessary.
    Best of luck with the move - it is a rotten time.

    Sounds impossible to me. I had to bow out of our last move, DD. My hubby got stuck with doing all. Alas, we could not afford movers. I think having it done in one day sounds miraculous. I would definitely go that route and avoid the stress and strain. Put your feet up and :D

    It's five years after our move and I'm still unpacking boxes.... :( :oops: Well, storing them mostly. I should've heaved all to the dump.....Next move I take myself and one suitcase :lol:
