sorry to hear you're struggling with the pain, i know you suffer when you cut down on your Steroids ..

i have never had to take them so i have no experience of them, other than what i read on here.

yes Winter is upon us, and i do feel the cold a lot more since having RA, looking back about 5 years and a few stone heavier i used to go out in just a very thick cardi, i didn't/couldn't walk far even then so it was from the car to the shop or wherever. now i have the full works on of a lovely winter coat, i have just bought a lovely new jacket for inbetween time's, glove's, socks ( as i wear trousers ) and i bought a couple of fleece cardi's for indoors even though the heating's on, got one on now as my computer is in the coldest room of the house and it has made a difference as it come's right up to my neck .. lol,

it's lovely to get out to the shops in the week now my Hubby is home, we had a nice browse around yesterday afternoon, i had to buy a Secret Santa gift that is going to wing it's way to California, so had to think of the packaging as well.

i was going to buy a boxed Christmas Decoration from John Lewis, but then i thought USA do decorations so well seeing it on the films etc. so i opted for a lovely chiffon/silky long scarf that will wrap nicely in a jiffy bag.

hope everyone is as well as can be as i natter on :)
