Not been on for a while

I have been managing as best one can given the sometimes unpredictable nature of RA. Up and down is the best I can describe it, good days can be great then wham real pain and swelling.

MTX injections seem to have made little improvement and I've had some sever developments around the annal area which could be down to a fissure not sure but I have an appointment tomorrow with consultant, this on top of everything has been bloody difficult.

On the bright side we have been organising my oldest daughters first communion this Saturday, it will be bottom clenching for me literally:-)

My good thoughts to all if you out there even though not always blogging always reading your stories which help normalise me a little. Xx
