Subject: how is every one :-)

Just noticed that the forum is very quiet lately I thought it might be a good time for an update on everyone

Well I m doing OK I have been taken 25 mtx for a month now and I think it might be starting to work finger s crossed if I could that is lol
Joints are still painful but just one at a time not all together what a bonus for me
Well that's it
Have a very happy st Patrick's day from the west of Ireland
Hugs

Hi all, I agree it's quiet, BUT maybe that's because everyone is not too bad at present. I know I am ticking over a little better. I think it's getting a bit lighter morning and evening and some days it really seems like winter is nearly over. Saying that we have had snow this week in Durham.
I am glad to hear you have an improvement Tara! I love to hear an Irish accent. Liverpudlian too
We really do appreciate it when a bit of relief sets in.
Hoping all the regulars that post to me are well and happy.
Love to Rhona, Bsk and Marlene wishing you all well.
I love it when I'm not moaning all the time. It's nice to chat 'normally'. X

Hi Tara,

Good to hear that you are starting to feel better. I'm doing not too bad at the moment and due another infusion of rituxmab next month. I am hoping that we will all improve more when the better weather comes. I guess being in Ireland you will be celebrating St.Patrick's day on Sunday. I am in sunny Glasgow, well occasionally is it lol. Keep well.
Love to you to Emm, i hope your knee is a lot better. xx

Morning ladies, glad to hear you are all doing pretty well. It is nice to chat without a moan Emm you are right but when people moan I get them totally as all the rest of you do. I love this forum we all chat like good friends even thou we have never met. When the new ones come in for a chat that is also great.I think it sometimes takes a lot for people to come on for a chat I know it was about 6 months before I did.
Well I am off out soon with me daughter for retail therapy and lunch the benefits of me being retired LOL.
Take care and enjoy your day!! xxx

Marlene, retail therapy sounds good to me!
I had a day with two friends on Monday, cinema then a meal, it's good isn't it.
Rhona I have never been to Glasgow, but it is on my list of cities to visit. I love Edinburgh. The scots are lovely people.
Best wishes to all.x

Subject: Re: how is every one :-)

Hi all, I'm doing much better now with the higher mxt dose on top of everything else I take. My elbows have stopped swelling and I haven't got any pain in them either. Not been on the forum a lot lately been really busy with work. I'm really looking forward to the weather getting warmer, manning the outside classroom is not all that pleasant in the sleet and snow lol! I haven't been on my bike for a while, its been too cold, but I have been doing a bit of Zumba.

Hi Tara and all,
What a lovely post it's nice to keep up with everyone on here.
It's good that you feel better. Hope everyone is ok at the moment.
I have been a bit better not great but a bit better.
I find retail therapy good and to go out for a meal because all you have to do is sit there which is great.
And it is lovely just to buy yourself a bunch of flower's
I did treat myself to a new retro phone this week I have been after lime green would you believe which I am so pleased with.
Just wondering if this winter is ever going to end.
And Happy Saint Patrick's to all from the North of Ireland.
Deborah.
