Subject: Re: flare-up
Hello kim and chris. Thankyou so much for your replys it is really nice to be able to talk to people who really understand what you are going through. Chris it is so kind of you to think of me at this time thankyou. Kim I contacted the out of hours doc he wanted me to go down to a and e but I just could not stick the pain as we live 8 miles from our nearest a and e and eventually got him to give me a script over the phone which my husband had to get at the hospital as asda could not accept a fax as it was such a letal drug or so they said. so what a day when I got my tablets I just brought them all up again so just had to stick the pain and today it has eased as long as i stay in bed.I felt like I got shot with an arrow and tonite feel a bit easier but feel as if I was put throught a spin cycle or one of those old fashioned wringers. The pain is in my collar bone and going out to my back across my chest and up the side of my neck on the right side and also in the right side of my head so could not lie on my head last night so I had a lovely night. Feel a bit easier tonite but kim I will know the next time just to go to a and e and get them to give me a steriod jab.I don't think the doc's know how to deal with the disease because they keep asking me what do I want them to give me. I am ok my husband is here god help him he looks so drained and worried but has been so good to me maybe when our famlies see us in such pain it must really frighten them we don't think because we are so used to pain. Kim I am on 25mg of mtx I have been saying for a while that it is not much good but better than nothing. Kim sorry to hear that your anti tnf treatments have been giving you so much trouble that sounds really dreadful it must be hard to cope with I do hope that the rhummy team can get something for you. Thankyou you both again for listening to my rant and hope everyone is ok Deborah xx
