    Aww thank you x
    Just an update I've been told to keep up with the painkillers for now and hopefully the Methotrexate will kick in soon x

    Morning @Chloe_Scope

    Not had the best week, I called the nurse again at the Rheumatology department and they have upped my prednisolone again for at least another 3 weeks, so fingers crossed it keeps me going till the Methotrexate kicks in.

    Hope your doing well and thank you for your message this morning xx

    I'm sorry to hear you haven't had a good week @Beanie71. Hopefully it will kick in soon, and you'll feel a bit better.

    Hi @Beanie71, sorry things have been tough. I hope the medication has kicked in this weekend. :)

    Hi @Chloe_Scope @Tori_Scope

    Hope your both doing well :)
    Still not doing to good, I thought I would have had some relief from the steroids but they haven't done a great deal yet....... my right ankle especially is playing up today, x

    I'm well thank you @Beanie71. I'm sorry you're still in pain. I hope you've taken it easy today. Did they give any indication of why the medication might not be working as planned when you called them? Or did they just tell you to sit tight and give it time?

    Glad your well @Tori_Scope
    They just said sit tight until I've been on the methotrexate for at least 12 weeks which will be in a couple of weeks.
    Occy Health have stated all being well I should be back on phased return after the 3 weeks but I just cant see this happening, trying to be positive but not convinced at all

    I'm sure it's difficult to stay positive at the moment @Beanie71, but keep trying :) Have you got anything you can distract yourself with? 

    Hmm. Do you think they're likely to extend that if you're still in pain?
