Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Fingers crossed. We're sat discussing your idea at the moment

Hope the wrists are easier today. X

[Jaquaia]

Thank you. They're stiff so back to compression gloves today I think. My inflammation levels have doubled from last month so there has been an issue.

When I read how your inflammation is going I find it terrible. I can relate a little as I am also prone to inflammation and at times its some of the worst pain I have experienced so far. I hope the rest of the day will be a bit better for you

What about calling your rheumy team? Could you need to up your methotrexate or need some steroids or something?

[Jaquaia]

My mum can't get through and she's been without her biologic for 3 weeks! I'm ok, my levels aren't massively high so I can manage it!

[Suzi]

Wow, how come she's been without it?
But if you could take something to make it easier, why wouldn't you?

[Jaquaia]

Supply issues apparently!

I don't think it's bad enough to bother the rheumy team or need steroids but I do take ibuprofen when my levels are a bit higher than normal. I find that helps with the aching and any pain quite quickly. The cold isn't helping.

Supply issues? Ahh, the good old "it's Brexit's fault" line? Alas, I've heard it lots of times too....

Just be careful, and tbh if it's causing you problems then it's definitely worth contacting them, and you definitely couldn't be a "bother" at all...

I promise I will be careful. I've asked J for help to make our bed, he wouldn't even let me hoover the other day, he took the hoover off me! And I carried a bag of shopping on my forearm rather than in my hand and J wouldn't let me take any more then that! Plus he's only back at work tomorrow then it's his long weekend so it's not as if I have a lot of opportunity to get up to no good! He's a bit bossy really! Been told off loads for not drinking enough too. So I'm being good
