krazykitkatSo 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...
