I have to laugh the first 3/4 days really messed with my head as the hospital told me nothing in respect of what to expect but I am lucky my wife and the nurse are like a double act when changing my dressing and repacking and have managed to give me my dignity back

Ouch. I sometimes think life is a kind of cosmic joke played on us all."Think you've been through enough already? Try *this*!"

Hope you are able to find plenty of things to help you through x

Praying for your healing.

Kidney stone pain is bad enough, but a fistula is adding insult to injury. Hoping things improve from now on.

Bless you! Sounds terrible. I hope you make a very quick recovery. How do you think you will fair without your immune suppressant medication? Seems a long time to be without it. Best wishes.

Thanks ,I've been off methatrexate for 4 weeks and already the fatigue is creeping back I still take hydroxy.the methatrexate really made a big improvement with the fatigue and jelly legs but this is the second time in hospital prob due to methatrexate can you believe exactly 12 months and a day between hospital stays first time was with sepcis and the doctors did not come out and say the methatrexate was to blame but sertanly made the recovery longer ? I will post if being optimistic when I get simptoms back
