Subject: MIRACLE! Got a RHEUMY APT THIS AFTERNOON!

Hi guys! My GP called my Rheumy today and had words about the situation and guess what? Apt this afternoon. Well He couldn't believe his eyes when He examined me. He said steroids for another month are ok but he's given me some so I can reduce by 1mg a week for 4wks. Is increasing my mtx injections for 1month then up again. He also said He thinks it's time for a biologic. But i'm in remission from a serious brain disease that nearly killed me so He has to check that Biologics won't flare up the brain disease. So it's a bit of a waiting game but at least somethings being done. Thanks for all your kind words and support during my rough time! Go well XXX

Well done Abbie! About bloomin' time but am very pleased for you. Hope you get the biologics. It's a shame that one has to jump through hoops to get them. Keep in touch and let us know how things go.

It's very frustrating. My rheumy gone on holiday and I can't get hold of specialist nurse. There is a month's wait for GP appointment. It seems harder and harder to get hold of anyone! You have my sympathy lol!

Ah Sally! I really feel for you. Our surgery have Only 30% pre bookable apts so you're usually looking at a month but for the rest of the apts we have a system that say If you wanted an apt on say a weds you phone mon, for thurs you phone Tues, for fri weds etc. Is it worth phoning the surgery and asking coz don't quote me on this but I think it's a national scheme. god Sally, I really hope you get hold of someone! Hugs XXX
