Hi, me again... sorry for not popping in earlier. I'm glad things went okay Rachel on Wednesday for your last feed. You will remember it fondly I'm sure. What's your dosage for MTX?
Funny thing about typing BW! I find knitting is great to keep my joints moving. Sometimes I can knit for hours without a problem, and other times I can only do 15 minutes and they ache like mad.
BTW, I'm SOOO loving your vent ladies!! I can testify to hearing all of those comments from people. Everyone thinks they're doctors and can offer you a cure. The latest one that cracks me up is "stop eating tomatoes". Sorry, that's never going to happen - I love my home grown tomatoes in salads, and spaghetti sauces, etc. I've also been told to take fish oil and glucosamine, and visit a naturopath, try reiki (whatever that is) and acupuncture. I actually had acupuncture to try and help my joints before I was properly diagnosed and it did absolutely nothing, which was a big disappointment because it had helped me a few years ago with RSI.
BW, Isn't it weird the number of people who have a "friend of a friend" who miraculously fell pregnant after IVF. I think it's rather insensitive to say that to someone going through it all. I cannot imagine the frustration you must be under after all this time. I read some of your journal and was so moved by your strength and resilience. It actually made me feel proud to be a woman... we can face any obstacle put in front of us! You especially! And the 10 commandments were excellent! I actually have a very similar list to do with chronic pain which I'll post shortly.
Hope everyone has a good weekend, only 12 sleeps till Christmas! : )
