Give me strength!!! Mentioned that I've booked my eye test for next month to my mum and that they still had me down for 2 yearly eye tests. She wanted to know how come I got an appointment then and said that the doctor had told her that she needed yearly eye tests. Had to explain again that the GP was wrong and she should go with what her consultant told her. I explained that a GP has some training in all areas whereas a consultant focuses on one area. I even pulled up the NRAS website and went through the list which clearly says that only the DMARD I'm on needs yearly eye tests, "I'm only going on what the doctor said" FFS mother!!! It's not a competition!!! I pointed out that the first thing the registrar told me when starring me on hydroxychloroquine is that I would need yearly eye tests as it has the potential to affect my eyesight, and if her drug did the same they would have told her when they started her on it as they're the experts and know these things. I also pointed out that the list on the NRAS website was created by a Professor of Rheumatology and a specialist rheumatology nurse but still don't think she's convinced...

I hate that, when other people try to make it into a competition about how much they hurt, or what their diagnoses are, or what/dose medication they are on.... Hope that you've managed to calm down - I'd have been so peed off!!

I'm struggling a bit anyway so that didn't help, especially as I explained this weeks ago. Even the nurse who did our bloodtests has said a few times that I know what I'm talking about as it's me who explained CRP to my mum in front of her.
I'm just irritable and have the energy levels of a dead battery today. I've done nothing but may try and cross stitch for a bit. Even J has told me that I need to rest and I don't have the energy levels to argue with you all today so I'm doing as I'm told
-
Good! I'm glad you're doing as you are told and resting....
-
Well doing what your being told is not always a bad idea. Especially if its the wonderful people here and ofcourse J. All people who put your welbeing at number 1.
I hope you can rest and enjoy it a little bit.
