Thats ridulous,why are you not using the nhs?

Minka,

for £50 I will give you some random advice off the top of my head, spend 6 weeks writing a short follow up letter that bears little relation to the actual consultation and get a syringe from somewhere so you can, as you so delicately put it, 'stick the bleeding thing in your bottom yourself'. Deal? Oh and my admin fee for this post is a snip at £30.

Oh that cheers me up....I've just learnt how to give myself injections and knowing I could be saving £90 a time makes me feel a whole heap better about doing it!

but no, not cheap is it!

hi all no its not cheap but i wanted a second oppinion from the cretin who did not look at my hands.

now i think its time to change doctor cos he is doing nothing for me and i think i do need some help with this thing im still doing me own thing the only thing ive got going on the nhs is phisio

but i had a little flare on me fingers last night

still been doing my walking and paseing myself and doing everything phisio told me

and im not looking forward if i have to go back to the first rumi i saw so its a bit hard.

but for the money i spent i think the guy got it spot on.

i gold take the knees swelling a bit but the hands are another thing thats one place i dont like and this cold is getting to me the last couple of days it realy is

especialy the walks in a morning.

but im realy trying to stay away from sulpazine if i can but if it will help then i would rather do it

OH FETHER THE CHEQUE IS IN THE POST NEXT TIME I WANT SOMEONE TO INJECT MY ASS I WILL LOOK ON HERE. IS IT A LONG WAY TO YOUR HOUSE FROM WARRINGTON FOR THE INJECTION COS I WILL HAVE TO FILTER IN THAT FACTOR FOR PETROL lol

regards john

oh just looked above scouser is near to no deal feather

helix just think the amount of money heroin addicts save dosn't bear thinking about does it.

Minka, my private rheumatologist was more than happy to just write to the GP and recommend any treatments they knew that the GP could prescribe. I'm sure the GP could have given you that injection. Same with things like xrays or ultrasounds (though I would have had to do MRIs privately unless the NHS rheumatologist agreed).

hi earthwitch

i think im still going to change doctor been out walking again this morning and managed ok realy felt it was their in the old knees.

dont know why my knees and feet go cold when im doing nothing its wiered but then i got the same thing last time you ever get cold feet and knees?

seems like every other day something moves to another site these days and ya tryong to control something else.

have you tries sulfazine at all?

been doing my knee exersises that the phisio gave me i dont want them to think im not doing it.

but trying to get anything out of my current gp is a pain in the bottom and its cost me quite a bit since april on private things even though he has given me the paperwork to go

best thing i did was go to podiatry cos i knew i was walking over on better leg now ive put some packing in that one to correct me a bit im doing a better walk in a morning.

then when it gets night time everything start to get worse.

im still also wondering if that swim i did put somthing out in my back or its like the private rumi said inflamation which is a lot in my joints.

regards john
