Hi

Hope it's effective for you! How long did it take between them first recommending it as an option and being told you can have it?

I was sent for a chest X Ray and blood tests on the day my consultant suggested it - mid April - but not heard anything since.

Had an ultrasound appt booked in meantime and the guy seemed quite shocked at the inflammation. Said it shouldn't be like that.

Still heard nothing so I left a message with the helpline and have got a tel appt for next week so hopefully something can be done soon as I'm really struggling. Under two eye clinics now as well and wondering if there's more going on, like Sjogren's, maybe.

Waiting since 18th August 2023. I have had serious problems with my RA. I know the department have also been having serious problems. Finally I am getting help. I am now desperate because my RA is not under control.
