Hi everyone!
I saw my Rheumatologist yesterday and on the R.A front I am now
considered to be doing so well over the last strange 7 months of "barely
there" symptoms that I have been told to cut down my Plaquenil (Hydroxychloriquine
Sulphate) tablets to one a day!
I have to say I find this quite scarey, as years ago, when he suggested I do this the
symptoms came back and how! But I was much more ill then with it all.
Still, last night when it was my usual time for the second tablet, I found it really weird
to not take it!
I had my annual "hands and feet" X rays yesterday and was very relieved when no erosions showed up.
Because since all the Spine problems I have wondered what would show on other X rays!
The Rheumatologist managed to call up my M.R.I images of my Spine on his computer
and I got to see them for the first time!
He thinks that it was opening the stuck Victorian sash window that injured me and that over time, even
'though it may take a long time, it will get to be more pain free.
He pointed out the vertabrae that is crushed down and it is exactly where I get the worst pain.
It was a very good appointment and even though the Clinic was running late he gave me loads of his time.
I could not have asked for anything better.
Best wishse,
Fiona
