Hi, been to docs. So have kidney infection, double ear inflammation, so steroids in the ear! Diabetic bloods very high at 23 on the machine, so drugs doubled.

Could be the drip of Abatacept, also got headaches, insomnia and diarrhoea!

BUT I moving a bit better yeah!, so gonna hold on in there as I'm just on loading doses !, what's it like this RA business ?! Xx

[Hidden]

its rubbish, hope you feel better soon

[Hidden]

That's so rubbish - hope things improve soon it must be quite scary for you but I can see why you are hanging in there if it's just the loading doses.

Warm regards,

Twitchy xx

Sounds rubbish sure hope the infusions are working for you. Best wishes Christine xx

[allanah in reply to miss]

I hope so then it will be worthwhile , as long as the infusions aren't causing the infections !

[nomoreheels]

Me, me, me!! Don't do things by halves do you Allanah? What a kettle of fish you're in now. Makes a change steroids in the ear anyhow. Hope you get sorted soon & at least moving better.

It is rubbish. Hope you feel better soon. It is scary taking new drugs isn't it. I am off all drugs and can't start humira as I have an infection, can't have a steroid injection either so bawled my eyes out today at hospital!!!! I have never cried over my RA, felt a right baby and asked if they had a back exit so I didn't have to go through the waiting room. I am off on holiday soon to Cornwall so wanted to feel well. PS don't let the steroid fall out your ear x

[allanah in reply to net2012]

Oh I have cried at many occasions! The nicest persons we're OT and physio , they seemed to understand. Enjoy your holiday x
