Hi Jill! Good to hear from you. What a tough decision to make, I can't imagine what I would do. What option does your consultant prefer or won't s/he say? Sorry you've had a lot going on. I've been quite ill myself but posted more than usual as trapped at home for 2/3 weeks. Take care and hope things go ok for you. Lots of hugs ((()))

Hi Jill! What a decision to have to make. I don't know much about it but If the fusion will help your pain and there's no saying when this may happen naturally maybe i'd be swaying to having it done. I too have not been in for a while as I've really been going it tough right now. Things and illness have got to me so much now i'm having anxiety attacks every time I leave the house ugh! Anyway Jill, good to hear from you and Lynn and Sally. Take care angels XXX

Hi Jill, thanks for email address, will be in touch, could never find you on fb lol! If you give me another clue will look again - well, I'll email you :) I'm a lot better today. I had a very nasty chest infection - 4 lots of antibiotics, steroids etc. then sinus, then thrush in my throat (v painful). Now off Mtx and not sure about options - rheumy says anti tnfs might not be suitable so feel as if I'm back to square one. Been really down this last week and today is 1st anniversary of Mum's death. Am ok though, went through it more during the week. Joints are rubbish so don't know what the future holds. So good to be back in touch with you, have missed you and am sorry you have been so ill still.

((((((((Hugs 4 U)))))) Hi Sally, Im sooo sorry, so hard on a first anniversary, im being honest, when a person is sooo close to their fabulous Mum, like we had/have(they r still with us in our hearts, so never far away) my truth is, that the pain is always there, no matter how many years pass by, not to make u feel worse by my words, but to let u know taht we learn to deal with the pain, and the tears lessen in time, but its still a struggle, I wish someone had told me that, so I knew it was normal to grieve, no matter how many years have passed........I also lost my Full Term baby Boy James born 2nd Sept and died on 3rd of Sept, so that has been tough for me, he wld have been 21 years old.......even tho the years have passed, when u lose a loved one, its alwys like only Yesterday....time is irrelevant..........losing my baby Boy was the worst thing that has ever happened to me.......losing my parents was as bad, but also expected I guess ? anyway.....not to upset u more tahn u r....remember its normal to grieve ok xx no matter how long it takes xx I do hope they help U sally, u have my email.....so we wont lose contact again ok xxxx

Hi Sandra, thasnk for the hugs, I always need those x....can I ask what is wrong with your back? what type of pain is it? etc....tc Jill x reason im asking, ive had back trouble years, had op etc, so know a little bit about the back etc......u need to re adapt your lifestyle, in the sense that, when u bend down, remember to do it v.carefully, and dont over do it......if i do a simple task, like try and hoover, my back huts bad.....nitemare....but i kinda have tips for u, but i guess when a back is painful, things becopme limited for us sadly x

Hi Lynn and Jill, thanks for your comments Lynn. How awful to lose so many people in such a short space of time. I can't imagine how that feels as losing my mum alone was devastating. I feel a bit better now the anniversary has passed and do smile when I think of her at times. My sister and I were laughing over a few memories last week. I'm trying to encourage my father to think of her in that way too. In bed today with a chest infection again and the damn thrush has come back with the antibiotics. Oh what a merry-go-round this illness is! Boring as anything and am trying to find ways to keep myself amused at home, apart from typing on here!!
take care everyone, you are all wonderful peeps for being on here.
