I've had good results!! just what i needed:)

[shirlthegirl]

i'm so glad to be writing something positive for a change, A part from still having a pain in my gum's I am glad to say that my CRP has dropped to... wait for it...10.6, also my ALT has improved to 27, How about that then :) considering over the Christmas my ALT was 53 and my CRP was 92, For my Gums my GP has given me a prescription for some antibiotics should i need them, I'm not walking up and down the stairs properly at the moment,but am noticing a lot off different in my wrist and finger, My GP is very happy with me and has said that it is going the right way, She has still signed me of work at the moment as she still feels it is a bit early, I have another blood test on Monday, and another steroid injection on Friday, If things continue the way they are i could be back to work very soon

Thank you Claire it sounds like you were spot on... hope you are all having some good news today, Sending lots of hugs and xxxx

Thanks Mads, My GP in the end gave me a prescription to get some antibiotics, She felt that the dentist should of given me them at the time considering it was a abscess and he new i had RA, But she told me only to get them if the pain got worse, and it did so i got them a couple of hours ago. Take care Shirley xx
