Well nothing from the Doctor or Pensions yet but I thought oh well if i'm gonna be skint I may as well be skint on a high. So instead of waiting for the appointment for the MRI or the Pension and letting it all take over my thoughts I went and booked us a holiday.!!

I didn't do the usual my holiday (Africa, sahara, dirt, mossies) but booked to go to a nice hotel in Corfu in 2 weeks time. (probably still has sand, mossies,dirt!!!)

My mum, sister and nephew are coming to stay for a week next week then i'm off to Corfu, then i have V fest and Leeds fest. Phew

I think i will ask for a steroid before I go as the Doc said he would give me one as it would help me!? i will think whether thats a good idea or not. ~So you said be positive, is this just a bit TOO positive,ha ha, I'm going from one extreme to another at the moment ;) But i just have to live my life not just exist.

That sure is being positive, well done you!

I hope you enjoy the next few weeks and that it takes your mind off worrying about everything else. I know I am so looking forward to our holiday in August.

You have seriously got the right attitude! I can but watch & learn. Steroids work for me in terms of energy & easing movement (I think, hard to know for sure what's doing what!) & I've been taking 10mg a day which I don't believe is a mega dose (?)

Enjoy it all,

Brilliant... That's getting priorities in right order. Well done you.

I know some people hate them, or don't get much relief, but I find the steroid shots hugely helpful. there's something about having a break from the pain and general flatness that does much more for me than just that. Personally I hate taking steroid pills, as they make me go a bit loopy, and coming off them is so weird. But the jabs are the only injection/needle that I look forward too! Pollyx

Ye feeling better for knowing i should get some sunshine and a break. I had a USS booked and i cancelled it till September cos i need a break from all this hospital stuff!! Thought they would question it but no thats fine they said!!! And its only to tell me i still have inflammation in my hands, i KNOW that!!!!

So if any one weighs less than 20kg (my luggage allowance) jump in!!!!

Will have to take my ipod full of Barry song Judy!!!!! RA songs like " cant walk without you" "lets hang on" " corno cornocabana" "i made it through the rain" and the favourite RA tune "ooowww Mandy" lol

See i'm cheered up already. Axx

oh i love your attitude i am far too cautious to do much at all, i need to take a leaf out of your book. Have a great time and i would go for the injection being a big fan of the steroids.

Well I can sit at home in pain or sit in the sun in pain, I will let u know how it goes !!!!

Please bring the sunshine and warm dry weather back. I'm selling my car as I'm getting Motability car in September and I think I'm going to do something similar. After all, holidays are good for your health right? Xx Angie
