Nice clematis! And wow, 5 stone! That's brilliant.

Hope rheumy responds well to you, you deserve a bit of good news.

Hi Sylvi, when fingers are like that it makes us so dependent! Hope you are getting assistance at home, and something can be done to bring relief at review. I got nothing for my hands as it was OA.

Treatment seems to vary from health board to health board.

Well, that's just pants. Having painful fingers and hands is so limiting. I sincerely hope the injections work their magic quickly for you. Hugs

I thought it was the weather that caused that noise in the sky, but it must have been your thunder mood? Be gentle with the poor Rheumy. Joking apart, I hope you'll get the right result. All the best.
