It's my home town. My anxiety has been pretty high since I got the email yesterday telling me the venues were being released as I was expecting Leeds or York. It's a huge relief as I know exactly where it is.
Got a letter from my consultant today too. My ultrasounds showed no active disease in my hands and wrists so she's dropping my methotrexate down to 20mg from my next prescription and I'm to see how I get on with it. The ultrasound showed "tendinopathic changes" in my ankles (whatever that means) so she's referred me to the physio.

YAY for your exam in Hull!
How do you feel about the drop in metho?
Yay physio... ???
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Honestly? I'm unsure. Lots of what ifs going through my mind. 25mg didn't work on its own, they had to add hydroxychloroquine too, so what if the drop kicks everything off again? Maybe 25mgs is what was needed to get it under control. But there's only one way to find out. And if I do start flaring again I can ring the rheumatology nurse, though they're reluctant to give me steroids because of my MH
Likewise with physio, my concern is they'll just blame my weight...

You’ve lost loads, so they can’t really say that, surely?. And, tbh, I’ve never had a physio or osteopath blame my weight for any of the issues I’ve had. I’ve found they just deal with the issue at hand ie exercises
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've had my weight blamed for various things. It's why I never got a second opinion on my hip as they dismissed the fact it only hurts around TOTM and just blamed my weight.

But you’ve lost loads, so, if it was the weight, it would make more sense that things like your ankles would be improving.

It would. It's not my experience though. Going to try not to think about it anyway, there's no point until I get my appointment through.
