Are the drugs working?

[Anne-NRAS]

Morning everyone, thank god the weather seems to be changing and we are in for some sunshine again! and we have bank holiday to look forward too. My latest purchase is a compact caravan, my wanderlust adventures start on Saturday and I am off with the dog and my friend and her dog to Yeovil. Never towed a caravan or set one up once parked - plenty of potential for hysterics and drama!

I also wanted to update on the Leflunomide - I'm not noticing any miraculous changes yet and wondering if its still too soon !? I'm not going to reduce my pred (5mg a day) until the Leflu has kicked in. This morning for example I didn't take all my pills until about 9.30 when I got into work and I am definitely noticing it.

It's been 2 years and still so frustrating!!

Everyone is different and leflunomide DOESN'T work for everyone - even though the pilot study was claimed to have been a success for all the patients.

Have fun camping - been our preferred holidays for 45+ years! But we now have a camper van - nothing to tow, nothing to set up. Hope you get good weather - I'm just cringing at the forecast for Weds in the north and what might come in Scotland afterwards ...

Hi, have fun.

Dorset weather looks good for next 10days - Yeovil only just over border - and looks ok there as well!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to DorsetLady]

It wil deteriorate the middle/end of next week ...

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to PMRpro]

As they say down here in deepest darkest Darzet - “where you be looking to?” - forecasts I’ve looked at say okay until end of month!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to DorsetLady]

I'm saying that as we are heading for Charmouth area middle of next week. Never mind the forecast - it always goes south when we arrive ...

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to PMRpro]

Thought that maybe was what you were implying!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to DorsetLady]

It hasn't been too bad thus far - just a tad draughty on the North Yorkshire moors - but the forecast for the NE and Scotland isn't too bright for the next few days!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to PMRpro]

Ahh well - ‘tis August!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to DorsetLady]

Thought monsoon season was in July ...

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to PMRpro]

... waited for you obviously!

[piglette in reply to DorsetLady]

Supposed to be really looking good by the end of the week. Hurray.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to piglette]

In the south. I will be in the north ...

[piglette in reply to PMRpro]

Sky gave the impression it would be everywhere except Ireland.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to piglette]

I'll let you know if it gets to Edinburgh!!!!

Memories of a family holiday in South Wales when the family friends caravan rolled and hit the front of our car. Bloke and my dad having a "put the brake on next time" conversation through gritted teeth. Then dad releasing our caravan which shot off down the hill with my 12yr old bro spreadeagled on the back running backwards....it went 30yds down the field and tipped on top on my brother in a ditch. My dad had hung on to the towbar bit with no joy. There were about 8 of us chasing after them.....screaming and laughing. Dad was not pleased...and bro was a bit nettled. Good first day....good memory. Thanks.🤣🤣🤣
