    Sorry to hear that @Teigr, I sometimes scratch my head thinking about their logic, you'd have thought they'd have wanted to free up the bed … they must know what they're doing I guess

    Morning everyone!

    I hope they sort things out quickly @Teigr! Fingers crossed for you.

    Are you getting infliximab @rubin16? I know that is given via infusion at the hospital at least. I take adalimumab which is done via injection pen. It really helped me, so if it is infliximab I hope it helps you!

    He said he feels much better today and he's been told he can go home after the scan.

    Yeah its infliximab, I was on adalimumab but my body has built up antibodies to it so it no longer works. I have to goto the hospital for a few weeks at first and then I can get infliximab to take at home like adalimumab.

    I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.

    Ah, I hope that works out! I do dread a little the possibility of adalimumab no longer working, but it's good to know there are other medications out there I can move to.

    Good afternoon, I've been working through some things away from the Internet.

    I relieved a message not long ago that my friend of 30 years passed away on Monday.

    Saturday I'm going away for a few days as my sister is coming to Wales for a holiday and I'm joining her.

    Hope you're all well

    I hope yous are having a nice afternoon.
    I think I’m going to walk up to see my mum, she’s going on holiday tomorrow.

    @loladale87
    I’m so sorry about your friend, I hope you have a nice time with your sister.

    @Ada
    I hope you can get something sorted with the internet to help you get on more. Do you know if your on certain benefits you can get internet into your home I think it’s only about £15 a month I only just remembered it would be worth checking it out.

    Oh they will get a phone line installed but you don’t have to plug a phone into it. It can just be used for the internet that’s all mines does. I’m glad your going to look into it. 😊

    I don't know how things work in deepest darkest rural Wales but here in a small English town we don't actually need a landline for broadband to piggyback off of anymore - we all just use mobile phones and got rid of the home telephone and we don't pay for the landline anymore, it's not a prerequisite to access broadband
