I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has responded to my posts over the last 9 weeks. I have been petrified and lost and hurt with this illness and you have shown encouragement support and given great advice. So thank you.

Very happy you are feeling better Jules......but don't throw a wobbly if you regress a bit.....that's normal.......I know it's a Big Ask, but if you can possibly just think "here we go again' if you do have a little blip.....it will help. I know we all bang on about stress, but I do really feel the more " knickers in a twist" moments we have...the worse we feel.

Let's hope in a week or two you'll be designing up a storm!

Hope the house deal is still going well!

It's a terrifying disease especially if you are on your own. I used to cry a lot and frankly am still pretty frightened by it. So do not worry about feeling scared and upset. I think it would be strange not to.

Your posts have made me feel better... Seeing that I have gone through so many of the same feelings! No one (or rather those without RA) can possibly understand what we feel and have to go through not just physically... Which is a whole lot to deal with, but the toll it takes mentally and emotionally. I just had to quit a new, promising job of which I was interviewed before RA fell upon me...I thought I could handle the last 6 weeks of training... Boy was I wrong... And I paid for it... Physically and mentally. Hang in there, Jules!!

This forum had helped me so much!!!

So many plans having to be changed or cancelled. I totally understand. I feel so flaky because I have had to call friends and say I can't make it. My whole life is soooooo boring. Literally a ground hog day or reading, pill taking, sleeping, doctors, blood tests, tv. That's it. Ughhhhhh

I actually just phoned them. They have had my application for over four weeks now and they said the next step was in six weeks time with a face-to-face interview. Six weeks time!
