So so tired. Had a rotten night Sunday, probably about 4 hours sleep with not being able to find a comfortable position, plus cramps (have never had cramps during the night before). When I got home from work yesterday I was walking like I was drunk. Slept better last night, but not enough.

Rheumatologist today, dad ended up driving us down there because I wasn't up to taking the train. Shaky and dizzy, and my legs jelly-like. Having another blood test to see how my iron levels are since I've gone off the iron (even 10ml once per week of liquid iron is proving to be problematic for my bowel (the bottle recommends 15-30ml per day)). If there's still problems he may put me on a course of intra-muscular iron injections (eeekkk! an injection in my bum about every 2 days for a fortnight!). Got scripts for all my winter medications (blood pressure tablets and patch, ointment and antibiotics in case of infections (particularly around and under my nails), had enough Prednisone already), so am prepared. I asked him when he wanted to see me next and he said "3 days before the chilblains appear" ;) He settled for end of May, the problems tend to start around that time.

And he said that the MRI of my hand is still talked about at Royal North Shore Hospital (the one that showed that I have virtually no circulation in the fingers of my right hand). I've never actually seen it :(, but he said it looks like the blood vessels have been pruned. Mum asked whether they wanted me to autograph it.

Got wingswing assignment...probably a good character compared to most, but I have no bloody idea how to do it. Have never written her and don't particularly like her.

And Donna doesn't love me anymore...

*snuggle* at least your hand is famous!

*hand waves in thank you*

Sorry that you're struggling healthwise, Hon. It's a good job you love your rheumatologist.

Any help I can give with the wingswing, let me know. I'm not doing it, so my plate (so to speak) is not so full, writing wise.

He is just fabulous. The appointment was overall good, he was happy with my joints and present circulation.

THank you, Hon. I will definitely need someone to throw ideas or prod me. I really should've restricted the pool further than I did.

Thank you, Hon.

no problemo :)

and *passes you tissue, just in case*

Sending sympathetic health rubs.

And wingswing. Ah yes. That's kind of what I thought....but am convincing myself that I need to be challenged so...

Take it easy

Thank you :)

I oculd do without the challenge ;)

I so much wanted to send you a joke assignment email saying you'd drawn Donna again, but I thought that would be mean *g*

Oh! I would've loved that :)

I think Donna loves you (even if you don't want her to), but she is overwhelmed at the moment with her "grandmother" Gail. ;)

Bwhahaha!!!

rotfl!!

*hugs tightly*

I'm sorry you're still not well - I wish I could do something... Or that the doctors could find a solution that works!!

And you know I will do my best to help you with wingswing (even though its not Donna LOL), but I will be struggling with mine... Still, ping me online if you need to.

THanks, Hon. Feeling a bit better today since I got a good night's sleep and my period is just about done. Not so sure about these iron injections...

And thanks. I'm nearly resigning myself to that it's not going to happen.
