My RA has been well controlled with a combination of methotrexate, etanercept and nabumetone. Moving home and the gap in transferring from one hospital rheumy team to another has led to me being without etanercept for the last 3 weeks. Glasgow Royal Infirmary cancelled my Benapali when I told then I was moving. My first appointment with a new rheumatologist is not until 13 th April. The first two weeks without I was fine. This third week I have had a rude reminder about the debilitating pain of this disease, limiting mobility and self care. I just hope the move to England will not entail going through the whole biologic drug approval process again and accept that I had already been prescribed biologic drugs Scotland.
Has any one else moved between Scotland and England who could advise on what I can expect at my initial appointment in England?
