For things like a major power cut or other such incidences with no prior notice. Following on from Alba's thread, I remember being lost when a power cut occurred one evening and thinking back to when...

Yoohoo Sqad ;) Saw someone different at the hospital who gave me a steroid jab as flaring badly and said anti-inflammatories should be ok while off methotrexate, yay! Asked why when not on mtx and she...
Thought it was initially mainly due to the heatwave we had weeks ago but still getting really painful swollen feet which I'm guessing is part of the horrible rheumatoid arthritis flare I'm having...
I think I've finally re-gained the knack! :) Used to crochet years ago but had been struggling to get back into it. Bought a book today and managed to do a chain, link it and double crochet out of it....
Has anyone ever tried these, especially anyone "generously chested". I've seen the advertised and they look very comfortable but do they really give you the appropriate support and lift? I could...
I saw some breaking news earlier about a search for two young boys possibly missing by the sea on the Isle of Wight. I checked back just now to see if they had found them and had to search a bit for...
I noticed it yesterday. I get quite a few of them and had one surgically removed before but always in the groin area but this one is on my back but over my hip bone about and inch and a half under my...
I spotted this little guy looking at me earlier. Couldn't get close enough to get a decent zoomed in shot on my phone so it's a bit of a rubbish photo I'm afraid. In the three just to the lower left...
Is it right that it isn't good for you to sleep on your front? I have what my GP reckons is sciatica and it's the only way I've been able to get to sleep the last few nights. I don't tend to sleep on...
Anyone got any good easy solutions?
Maybe something I can spray on, leave then wash off without a lot of scrubbing and preferably something that doesn't stink of bleach?...
I'm really not having a good couple of weeks. I got up this morning to phone in sick to work (other issues, a lot of nausea, some vomiting and feeling exhausted). I tried to settle down to get back to...
My last lot of methotrexate blood screening showed a raised ALT of 80. I'm on self injected 25mg per week. I'm waiting for a call back from rheumatology (GP faxed results over) but could this be...
I lost my beautiful cat last week, I'm heartbroken. The house just feels so empty without her, even walking up the street to home as she'd almost always come running out to meet me. I remember a post...
I tend to get very strong toenails and they get uncomfortable after a while if they rub on shoes but I've got one at the moment, big toe nail (the second toe, not outer side) and it's so so sore. I...
Well, Sqad, it seems I am definitely wonky! Saw physio today about my knees (patella maltracking etc...) and she also noted lumbar lordosis (memories of being teased and called hollow back by an idiot...
Is there somewhere central in hospitals that you could ring to find out if you have any appointments pending (with doctors or for scans)? Bit of a long story. Was referred to physio by rheumatology on...
I know dermatology isn't your speciality but wondered if you or anyone has any ideas. It's down top/body side of my right forearm (not the one I damaged the other week). Little red spots with tiny...
