Second day...........

Well my friends i am still here thankfully. I still don't feel right,but i am on the right side of it. It has been a strange old day. I haven't been very far today, have just rested.

I had a mobile phone call from my brothers phone and it was a para-medic telling me my brother has had two seizures and they were taking him to hospital. You could have knocked me down with a feather. They rang me as he has me down as next of kin. I had to ring my sister in ireland to let her know. The medic said my brother didn't want to worry me,would you believe that boy. He is 48yrs and as stubborn as a mule. A roght family we are my sister has health problems as well as i do and my brother has had cancer and is being treated for it now.

Apart from all that i am recovering and i hope you are all a lot better than my family.......xxxx

By Sylvi you are having it rough aren't you, try not to let things stress you out as you know what negative things can do to your body. Hope your brother is better soon and that you are feeling better soon. Glad to hear you are recovering.

Wish my family were all feeling better but not so. I spent yesterday with mother in law who was admitted to hospital with cellulitis and immobility ( she also has quite bad OA) spent 13 hours with her and am feeling the effects today. Hoping I am not flaring but feeling like I might be and it is 8 weeks since I had the steroid jab. Mother not good and Dad not so well either and both getting older and frailer. My daughter normally helps out with them but she isnt well as she has flu. Anyway am hoping things look up in the new year. Seeing Rheumy on 9th Jan and they have not really seen me at my worst as I was feeling much better when I first saw them and had steroid jab then second appt felt very well apart from hands and feet feeling a bit crushed. Hope I may get a more definite diagnosis as currently undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis as bloods normal apart from RF.

hope you have a good new year and that your health improves and you get much better painrelief.

May see you in the 4am club

Cris, i also see the rheumy that day as well. My appointment is 10.20am at the eliot in nuneaton. Where do you go?

Its life and i have to get on with it. I will try to keep calm,though i have to say it brought tears to my eyes when i got that phone call. I just rang his phone and it went straight to voice mail. What do they say about no news is good news.

I will let you know how he gets on. Love sylvia.xx

I am in Leeds and appt at 11.15 no complaints about the care 1st appt 5th Nov and 9th Jan is 3rd appt so cant complain. But as I am in a research project for inflammatory arthritis they have to see me at the specified times. Am feeling that I am probably starting to flare ache all over hands starting to swell and getting more sore ( couldnt turn the door handle just now to open kitchen door ) and 8 weeks of relief since the steroid jab is quite good. In fact was starting to wonder if I had imagined the problems I had as I have felt so well. Maybe this was wishful thinking. I am also starting to struggle with walking and have a stiff neck. Anyway if I am still like this they will see how I really am which is good in some ways although dont relish feeling like this for next 2 weeks.

love crisxx

goodness Sylvi what a day you have had, if it is not one thing it is another. I hope your brother is ok and recovers and that you don't get yourself in a state about what is going on. Rest yourself.

Sylvia, What happened with you? Did I miss something ? I see reference from some wishing you recovery, and I wondered what happened. Besides your brother's seizures? Where is he, is he in hospital? Gosh, let's hope all this puts a big END to 2012! Take care sweets, I will remain in touch. Loret

Well everyone it is 3.50am and i am down here again,i ache like i don't know what,my throat feels like sandpaper. I have to very quiet as grace has a friend staying and he is in the other recliner. Poor lad he came down thursday and i was in my pjs all day after being so poorly,but he is an understanding lad as he takes care of his mum who has the same sort of diseases that i have.

Loretta, i have been on antibiotics as dr though ti might have a chest infection,then thursday had to call dr as i had my balance go when my ear started playing up,he had seen me in surgery the week before so he had some idea what he was dealing with. He has given me something to settle the balance down,but with the weather the way it has been my joints ache bigtime.

As far as i know my brother is in hospital at addenbrookes,he wouldn't have told me i don't think as he wouldn't want me to worry. By the time the paramedic rang me he was concious and talking,but they were taking him anyway. He is not one for telling you anything and if the paramedic hadn't asked about next of kin i don't think i would have even know until he had got it sorted out.

Thank you all for asking about my brother and when i get some news you will get it also.With you all backing me up my life would not be as easy as it is,you all keep me going and stop me from worrying too much and i can talk to you anytime which i like. Thanks again. Love sylvia.xxx

Oh Sylvi you poor thing! Vertigo is no joke and now the worrying news about your brother. He's in the best possible place - my Mum was there a couple of years back and I was quite impressed with what I saw - so try not to worry too much. I'm sending lots of positive vibes to you both x

Sorry to read what a rough time you are having, try to stay

positive.

My friend was in that hospital a year or so back, on visiting her

we were amazed at how clean and efficient it all appeared.

My friend had the most caring treatment she has ever had and

believe me she ought to know, hospitals are her second home poor love.

Best wishes to you Sylvi and your brother.
