*frowns* For some reason I thought I would be emailed when people responded! Apparently not. *pokes own email system*
Hi to:-
Rose-B - no - I wasn't happy! More frustrated at myself than anything else! Lesson learned there I think. I wasn't too bad - it was only a very small dessert so it must have been a tiny amount of pork in it overall. Still - my fingers felt like balloons! I wanted a pin to pop them.
Sara-R. Yoghurts?!?

Noooo! I *like* yoghurts. That's just
mean. I used to be vegetarian - so I happily eat a lot of vegetarian food. Finding out about pork wasn't too bad until I realised just how badly it can affect me. Nasty nasty pork.
... One interesting thing overall though - on Saturday I saw a neighbour offering me a lift home whilst he waited for his wife to leave work. We chatted and I mentioned my hands and my condition... Turns out - his wife is currently being tested (literally waiting for the blood test results due back shortly) for RA - something she confirmed when she got in the car! I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't for my hands being a bit dodgy - so I think a bit of pain and swelling was worth it after all.
Strange how things turn out sometimes isn't it?
