Today had a phone call from the hospital I think it's good news, I have an appointment with Rheumatology for the 21st of this month to assess if I have psoriatic arthritis.... I say I think it's good news....but you know sometimes things are getting on nicely but you have niggling pains that you can happily live with....... Well that's about where I am, yes I wake in the night with pains in my shoulders,and if I step out of bed my feet are painfull to put flat....
This I can live with it doesn't affect me and a little pain at night is acceptable
My worry is my skin is great and has been for over 4 years now. I don't want a rheumatologist to stop my Fumaderm in favour of something else ..... I just don't want the psoriasis back
I may well be wrong and I hope he will look and say you are getting old you must expect these pains...
The hormone injections I have to have them for another year and then hopefully life will get back to normal without the swings of emotion that I'm experiencing
My liver and kidney function is good and my lymphocytes are up again to 1.45 which is in the middle of normal (normal between1-3)
So I think I'm happy .......I will know for sure after my rheumatology appointment
