My update - hooray for hydro

[Guest guest]

Hi Alls,

Long time since I have updated, I first posted when I had just

started seeing a rhmey about my aches and pains and was diagnosed

with pa.

Since then I have been on mtx for 5-6 weeks and should prolly have a

blood test soon to see how my liver is coping. I have a rhemy appt

on the 6th Jan and hoping she will up the dose as I have'nt notice

any difference in the pain I have.

I also started rehab at the royal melb hospital. They have me going

to hydrothrepy twice a week.. so after 4 sessions I have alot more

movement in my shoulders.. I can now put them above my head. I also

see a phsyio and a occupational therpist once a week.

I cannot stress how much a difference this has been, I would not

have been able to get this treatment without my rhemy in Melbourne

offering these free services to me.. if only for a limited time.

After my time is done there I'll be finding a new place to do hyrdo.

I have found that the worst pain is in my hips and my right wrist..

makes it every hard for me at work because I use computers all the

time and this aggrevates it.

Anyway enough about me.. I hope everyone has a nice xmas and new

year. Thankfully it won't be too hot in Melbourne this week.

Hi Teena, I'm Glad to hear that the hydro has been good for you. I

am really looking forward to it myself. Only another week to wait

and then i get started. I am hoping that I get good results from it

too.

Sorry i never get to chat online with you. Competing with 2

teenagers for the computer can be quite a contest. I often wait

until the late hours to get online for any length of time, with the

time difference and the unpredictable storms dictating when I get to

use the computer we'll never get to catch up. lol.

Thats why I am making use of a break in the weather tonight. I

really should be doing others things, but I am learning to do more

of what I want to keep myself happy.

Hope your appointment went well with your Rhuemy yesterday.

Cheers

Janice
