Made use of sleepless night.

Woken up by pain in various places this morning at 3 am. So decided it would be really useful to create my medical history on computer and save it to a memory stick. That way most of the questions the Consultant is likely to ask are already recorded and they can have a copy too.

I think I may, by doing this, have made a connection. I was diagnosed in 1998 with Atrial Fibrillation...something I now know has a connection to RA. Whilst me knowing this won't make any difference to myself, I'm thinking, hoping the doctors might join the dots and take note for others who may have the same in future.

My next task will be to compile a list of questions ready for my appt with the Rheumatologist.

Hope everyone has as good day as they can. Thanks for listening. :)

Morning to you summer:) I hope you had a reasonably good night.

sounds like a night well spent! Hope you get some kip soon though! I agree anything that helps docs to join the dots is worthwhile. I was wide awake at 3 am too - did think of logging on but fairly positive use of time giving myself a pep talk.
