Paul, that is so kind of you, I will certainly discuss this with her when I see her next Tuesday.
My consultant phoned me (beats waiting in the hospital!!) this morning and after discussion she said she now thinks I do have RA in my neck
as well as the three disc problems - it's one big laugh, I think

I'm to reduce slightly the steroids and I have started the TB treatment today.
Please God there are no problems to encounter along the way.
I also went to OT yesterday and she she was amazed by how I was coping (she doesn't see the bad days!), anyway she has offered my
a course of relaxation to help me cope with it all - I hope I don't snore!!!
Thanks again Paul, your offer is gratefully appreciated.
