Hi, my name is Julian and I am in England.
Firstly I wish everybody in here and in our situation a fantastic xmas and a great new year. I will add that poultry will not be on the menu.
I seem to have found a good doctor and although my list of medicine is to follow, all movements seem to be getting under control and the pain is easing.
Asacol 1000mg
Mezavant 2400mg
prednisilone 40 mg
6 mp 100mg………………………..The scary one
To top it all and because of the 6 mp and the loss of my immune system I have now got a slight lung infection brought on by flu and pneumonia injections, having just been given 625 mg of co-amaxiclave.
guess what….allergic to the penicillin !!!!!!!
but do you know what, the blood is almost gone, the stomach cramps subsided, i bounced out of bed this morning at 5.30am…no joint pain, no stiff muscles, alive ,awake, and for the first time in two months feeling really positive about things.. My three children will have a dad on Christmas day that will enjoy them and them me.
I GUESS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT RELAX AND THINK POSITIVE, HELP IS AT HAND. THE STORIES ON THIS SITE ARE OFTEN AN INSPIRATION AND I FIND THEM A GREAT HELP.
I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD ORGANIZE A CONVENTION SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD AND GET AS MANY SUFFERERS TO JOIN IN, GET DRUNK, BE MERRY, HAPPY AND EAT A CURRY …..JUST ONE MORE
BEST WISHES FOR A GREAT 2012 ONE AND ALL… YOU WILL MAKE IT. KNOW MATTER HOW BAD YOU THINK YOU ARE. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TOO..
I HAVE NOT TRIED ANY SORT OF DIET, I WILL NOT CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE BUT I WILL THINK THAT I AM OK AND NOBODY CAN TAKE AWAY THE POSITIVE THINGS IN MY LIFE
REGARDS
