It seems that Aberdeen RI, Rheumy dept have decided to re-organise how they see people. In addition to video and telephone consults, they are running 2 flare clinics a month. Good idea. Well organised. Not the doctor the letter indicated but one of my usual Rheumyβs registrars, perfect!
They are reluctant to move me back to or on to another biologic as Iβve had allergic reactions. So they will increase my Metoject Mtx to 20ml which is as much as I can have as Iβm too petite to take 25 ml (never had that before). Also had a Depo-Medrone injection.
It was all much less stressful than I anticipated and after a really long sleep I feel good this morning. I walked downstairs without pain or discomfort and could get on the loo with my knees screaming at me! I know youβll understand what a joy this is! ππ
Even the drive there and back was good - the roads are much quieter than they normally would be at this time of year on a Friday. π
While I am feeling ok - I have so much to do.... π
Go gently and have a lovely weekend...
π thank you again for your support

Thrilled to hear you had such a positive appointment. Even more thrilled to know that your kees are so much better and that you have a treatment plan in place π»
Iβm at Aberdeen too and have to say they have been brilliant. Since March I have had numerous problems with my biologics. Iβm about to start the 5th one due to adverse side effects. I have had numerous telephone calls and emails with my rheumatologist and been in the clinic 3 times. The last time was a week ago and things are beginning to be busier but the staff take full precautions plus they always listen to you. Good you are able to move better
