I am so so so glad to hear someone else saying that they thought their symptoms were "in there heads"! I. Think this all the time, well a lot of the times. I have to keep calling my rhumy nurse to make sure that my symptoms are not a figment of my imagination!!!! She just laughs at me, bless her. I wasn't able to take my infusion for the month of march as my white cells are too low so it's back to bloods again and then we'll see how things pan out from there. Thanks chemar, you have put my 'over active mind'at ease for another wee while.X
