Firstly thank you to everyone who replied to my desperate cry for help last week. I'm truly grateful and you a helped me get through the weekend! I had a blood test yesterday and the Rheumy nurse just rang me. One indicator is up so they have doubled my Leflunomide to 20mg a day. The other indicator has dropped slightly so she said the Leflunomide I've had for 2 weeks is starting to work although it can take up to 3onths to notice a real difference. She's also told me to slap voltarol on my shoulders twice a day. Xxx

Thanks for updating us Haz, I was wondering how you had got on Sometimes we have swings or round a bout days, but when the swings &round a bouts are going round together it can feel relentless. . So I hope it's not too long before things begin to improve for you. Take care xx

Good that they think things are improving. Good old Volterol - when my body was at its worst back in 2020 (fractured sacrum with general inflammatory arthritis pains) I used to think I should buy shares in the company. Hopefully the better weather is on its way and we will all feel better, this cold weather just doesn’t help us.
