Great chat with rheumy nurse

4 Replies

Had a lovely chat with my rheumy nurse. Talked about where I am on MTX so she has sorted, so I get injections from next week and put me in for a 12 week check up at clinic so she can review me and my MTX journey.

She was good, understood that I am fine with the MTX but what if plateaued and understood my concerns. As she said injections might be the one, so we are going to give it another 12weeks. However she has noted that I have various things going on but BOTH us felt the MTX needs the 12weeks to see what it can do on its own.

Chesty cough if not gone by time I see her she will get me in to see consultant that day.

You’ve got a plan that’s good ... your starting your injections earlier than you thought 🤞 this works. Now this cough has gotta go. Delighted for you xx

That all sounds positive. I'm pleased for you. It's very helpful when you feel listened to and come to an agreement that suits you.
