Hello all

Things are very very tough here right now- thankfully the RA is behaving on the Cimzia ( ) but life in general is extremely hard. There are people on here that are posting in need of support and I am not able to do the posts as much as I would like.

For those of you who are "friends" on facebook you will know that our middle daughter has severe mental health issues relating to her poor early start prior to adoption. She is in a specialist therapeutic unit now and it is second to none really for the therapy and support it offers.

She has got herself into a new pattern of behaviour which involves absconding. She couldnt be more vulnerable in anyway really and the long and the short of it, she has been found to get as far as London.

Just an utter utter nightmare.

I get frantic with worry and Richard got into such a state he was physically sick.

Michael knows something is up so we explained that Gemma has got herself doing some difficult behaviours and he replied "thats what she is there for, isnt it?" and really he is right.

The next few wks are going to be a rocky ride. I am thinking of you all and on here reading every few days even if I do not post.

I am going to have to find a way of getting much much better at this.

Much love

Jenni xx

Hi Jenni

Good to hear all is going well with the Cimzia and making your life so much better, its such good news.

Sorry that you and Richard are going through so much anguish with your daughter at the moment, hope the problem will be short term, no doubt it will but no less a worry for you. We all understand if we lose you a little just at the mo, and grateful to hear from today, as you know we all care and worry about you too.

Lots of love

Hello Jenni
aww gentle hugs prayers not an easy time for you both,please dont worry about posting thinkin of you lots lv melly

pity you are not up the road as i would come and help out so you could rest .

Oh Jenni, I'm just so very sorry to hear this latest about Gemma, when I read about her getting as far as London I did come out in goosebumps, you and Richard must be going through absolute hell right now. She has lots of determination and initiative, but is so very vulnerable bless her.

My heart goes out to you all and hoping so much that all the worry wont affect your progress on Cimzia, so long awaited and deserved, and cause poor Richard's condition to worsen.

No idea what to say to help you other than I am constantly thinking of you and sending you a very big, but gentle hug.
Take good care Jenni,
Love Liz

So sorry to hear about Gemma. I thought things were going quite well in her new environment. I can't begin to imagine the emotional rollercoaster you and Richard are riding. Always thinking of you Jenni.
