Fingers crossed. Good that you have a dishy doc .

Am so pleased that someone is finally keeping an eye on you Jenni. You'll have to let us know what you find out about the new drug. Have you had any joy in getting some extra help?

Hi Jenni so glad u seen dishy doc,aww Rupus yes heard about from the lovely lot on lupus site,glad hess eeing u again quickly prayers here ,much lv thinking of you melly

Oh Jenni, so pleased to hear that you have at least got some relief from the knee. That is brilliant, even if everything else is duff at the moment! I was at the docs about my extremely swollen knees yesterday but he wouldn't inject; said he would've preferred to draw off fluid first then inject but unfortunately no fluid to remove it's all solidified synovium so requires synovectomy to remove. He's referred me to orthopaedics. Had my left knee done once and it was miraculous so just hoping they will do it again. I've had injections before and they just don't seem to work for me so probably would have been a waste. I'll just keep hobbling for now!

I had a meltdown with other half yesterday so I guess we all do it at times. Much like you really, stuck here feeling c**p trying to organise stuff and get it done, no help, wingeing kids!! Aaahh ... life, such as it is at times, gets you down, I don't need to tell you do I?! Went into school to pick up some stuff only to be met by a member of staff with bad foot. Asked how she was and when I commented that I understand how she felt as I have RA she bleated "ah well Lyn that's old age creeping up"!! Well, as you can imagine, I could have hit her . Another perfect day, not!!!

Hope the flushed feeling continues throughout the day and things are better when Richard returns. Instant remission?? Wonderful do spill the beans!!

Hi Jenni,

Sounds like things are moving, and like the fact that your rheumy actually asked you about what helpful treatments you may have heard about, is a real first in my book! Are you serious about the worm poop, don't laugh, is it something new, or am I being a bit slow on the uptake here?

Glad to hear you got some relief with your knee, as for the rest of the RA related illnesses, what can I say, it's beyond me and never ceases to amaze me what one can also get with RA. On a positive note, from now on it can only be on-wards-and-upwards for you Jenni, and will be keeping my fingers crossed that something will be found to help you manage this awful illness.

love,

Barbara
