ahhh...!

Well I shouldn't have worried about having an injection of methotrexate the day before my uni course starts - my liver has intervened - it is protesting that it has had enough methotrexate for the time being. I went to get my first injection today, only to be told that that I should stop taking methotrexate completely - no tablets, no injection.
Good news in the very short-term - I should be reasonably well on Wednesday, but potentially very bad news longer-term 'cos despite its ill effects it was helping to supress the rheumatoid arthritis. I'm not sure how quickly the pain and stiffness will wear on but it could be quite soon.
Back to hospital next Tuesday to find out how I'm doing... keep your fingers crossed for my liver (now there is a strange request).

PS I'll try and post about something else next time

Hi Tony-
As you know, all our thoughts are with you. I shall endeavour to cross all my available digits etc.
Warmest wishes to you Tony.

Hi tOne,

My fingers are crossed for your liver! Hope that it doesn't cause the flare up of your RA.

By the way - the chutney is delish and have had it on pretty much anything (except porridge) lately. Thanks again! ;-)

See you soon I hope,

Em
