Subject: went to hospital today

Hiya well went for my appointment with rhummy today and they want to keep me on the salfazine but if the swelling doesn't go down by my next appointment they will decide weather to up the dosage or change the meds.Ive got another appointment in 2 months and also got to see a OT as ive been unable to move the fingers. got to also get iron tablets as am anemic. he did say it can take a year to sort things out hoping it doesnt was a shock when he sed that but oh well im not going to dwell on it anyway thought id keep you all updated. Hope everyone has enjoyed the lovely weather today and pain free take care xx

Hi Della sorry they've not sorted you out. I can't see why it should be a year before things get sorted usually it takes two to three months for the meds to kick in. If they don't work and you still get bad flare ups they usually up the dose. Then if that don't work they will change your meds
the good thing is you have got another appointment in two months that suggests he's monitoring you. Keep a list of all your aches and pains, and swellings etc. So you can go well armed next time. So he gets a real picture of your pain. Then hopefully you'll get the treatment you need. Take care xx
