    I should feel bad but I don't. The consultant said to my mum about her stopping smoking on her own wouldn't do much good as she'd still be breathing it all in. So I commented that it could be why I've had to start a second medication, because breathing in all their second hand smoke is affecting how well the methotrexate works. Normally I hate saying anything that could make someone feel guilty, but not this time. Quite frankly, I'm ed off that her choices affect me. I don't smoke, I don't choose to smoke, have never even tried smoking, yet I've had to breathe in their second hand smoke for most of my life. It's irritating my throat and it can't be doing my joints any good either. I do whatever I can to help myself, I take my medication, I take anti-inflammatories when my joints are painful, I keep my hands moving to help relieve the stiffness, yet still I'm on on 2 medications, probably for the rest of my life. Yet my mum does nothing to help improve how effective her treatment is at all. She's doing none of the exercises the physio or OT has given her, no matter how much she lies about it. She isn't using the aids she's been given, only for appointments, and she continues to chain smoke. Just argh!

    Well done you!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I'm glad you've got that out! I know you struggle with it and quite frankly even as an ex smoker it makes me furious how much this affects you.

    She just constantly comes out with the excuse "well your dad smokes so tell him"

    My dad isn't home all day!!! She never seems to take any responsibility for herself at all.

    Doctors in the morning, and as well as discussing how much help the secondary mental health team was, I need to remember to ask about my biopsy results as I haven't received them yet.
