Can't you go see the rheumatologist earlier than that, what are you taking for the pain? You must be exhausted without sleep and bearing the pain up. Shame about the telly, have you tried iplayer online or computer games? Anything to take your mind off!

In answer to both, I could scratch for England so know what you mean. All I know is if him up there invented something more evil then I don't want it. Let's hope we all feel better and less pain soon. XX
