Hi

I have started to get cramp in my hands my fingers just freeze into strange bent shapes and hubs has to massage them out, they are not so painful as really uncomfortable.

I saw my GP again today I have been off from work for a month, I hadn't realised that I was so tired until you find yourself completley rested as I am.

She has signed me off again until end of April. I have my op on the 31st March and my WBC has gone up to 4.1 lets hope they don'tstart getting too stroppy and fight with the reds. This is the second week without Humira so lets keep quiet so we don't wake the little B's up.

Have a good night all of you see you tomorrow afternoon.

Love

Triciax

I started again 3 weeks ago following a break( my wbc count by then was 7 - but then it dropped down to 4 in two weeks once a started methotrexate again.
