Hello All,
Well had my Specialist appointment. I must say she was very nice gave me a
thorough examination.
The good news is that the x rays from February have showed no further progression of the RA
so that is especially pleasing.
She said that the inflammation levels are still showing. I am still having great fatigue and pain
and swellings etc. The pain in chest I described earlier is also still there.
So next is to have
another MRI scan to see if anything sinister. Also being referred to a Physio to help with my walking
etc. She said my muscles were 'floppy' not quite sure really what that means, but that the
physio will/should help.
Also, I was given a booklet regarding fibromyalgia to read and she is writing to my GP to suggest
change in tablets. I have read the booklet and it appears that a lot of the symptoms do refer to me.
I don't know it all so confusing but if this is an 'extra' thing I have it could be reason why I feel
like I do.
Is not offerring another course of RTX. Seeing her again in December and she will see how things are then
but possibly may start me back on MTX again to see if a re-introduction may be of benefit.
I presume that a course of RTX stays in ones system for some time ?
Need some warm weather as the cold does appear to make my feet and hands etc. very painful.
Thank you friends for all your support.
Rose x
