Hi all, I'm back in the land of the living

[babssara]

Fingers (and toes) crossed I'm feeling relatively well after what has been a very difficult few weeks. Yesterday was first day out of bed - exhausted but felt reasonably well. Today, hoping to make some scones - just something nice and easy to start with.

Thanks everyone for your continued support, well wishes and advice - it has really helped me get through. Especially the advice on pain management - I have now started to split my pred, half am and half pm. I don't seem to become so painful as the day wears on if I do this.

I wonder if anyone is having the same tiresome comments from friends and family regarding sweats "its just the menopause", "its your age" etc etc. I feel as though I am banging my head against a brick wall.!!!!

Hope everyone is feeling as well as can be. Take care. Babs x

PS - not me in the lovely photo - my beautiful daughter with her uncle.

The answer is a firm "NO, it is NOT the menopause, it is vasculitis and pred side effects. Please don't mention it again if you don't want to take the doctor's word for it..."

Honestly - people!

She's a bonny lass
