Hello Suzanne.

Sorry to hear that your bloods are not any better. However it is still early days.

Can they give you a steriod injection I had one last Friday and 1 week on
I am feeling much 'free er' . I am aware that this is just a bridge gap though

hi Rose,

when i went for an emergency appointment in September they did give me a Steroid injection but it didn't work this time ... Rheumy Nurse said this can happen sometimes.

so now i have the Steroid in my system still so still waiting to get a true blood reading after about 6 weeks on the upped dose to 20mg Methotrexate.

glad you are feeling better while you are waiting,

Suzanne x

Hi Suzanne

It certainly sounds as though the Methotrexate needs an additional drug adding to kick start it. Methotrexate often gets a better result when used in combination with another drug. In the meantime hope you are keeping dosed up on pain killers!

Thinking of you Suzanne
