Hospital visit for hand

Had visit and saw practice nurse and then the consultant. They agreed my hand was a big flare up and put me on a six week prednisone treatment with a return visit in six weeks. They were so kind and understanding I could not believe it! Bought them a box of biscuits to say thanks. Will keep you posted. 🤩

Ooh that looks uncomfortable. Hope the Prednisolone helps the swelling go down soon for you.

Ouch - that looks painful! I’m in a flare atm too - probably because I’m in the process of moving from mtx to leflunomide and neither are working yet.
