I saw my lovely consultant Rheumy this week. We decided my current treatment, tocilizumab is doing its job and decided it will be up to me to choose when I need to see the Rheumy team. Also referred me for Dexi scan and opthamology.

My shoulder is getting better, though the bruising is still stubbornly ugly, and I’ve still a way to go.

Still waiting for Cardio…

But it’s all looking a bit more positive

Go gently 😊

I'm glad to hear it's more positive now although bruising can be very stubborn, as you say. Good luck with your scan and ophthalmology appointments when you get them.

A stroke of luck then 🍀
