Very tired after a late night, so my own fault. Terrible Cornish weather.....very wet and windy, just what you want with dogs/donkeys etc. Everything seems sooooo much harder in the rain! Still unable to walk in wellies so looked like a mad woman in flip flops in this weather. Saw my lovely GP today who was pleased to see how well I looked. The last time she saw me I was completely yellow from jaundice and could hardly walk..she sent me straight to hospital. She is concerned about the osteoporosis risk from the steroids and was not appeased by my saying the hosp had prescribed calcium d3 to address this. She feels I should be on alendronic acid..........hepatologist doesn't feel this to be necessary........who to believe?? Apparently , the hep clinic will do a bone scan in 12months to check for damage! Will have to research myself and see what the difference is.Anyway, as I'm tolerating the azathioprine, they have increased it to 75mg from tomorrow. The Prednisilone is to stay at 15mg for another week. Bloods again Friday and clinic again in two weeks. I am still advised not to have the flu jab yet while they are fiddling with the meds, however I'm also told I'm in the high risk group and now is the time to have it!?! All in all a positive day, but am seriously wrecked tonight and soon off to bed.

My gp also recommended alendronic acid but as yet consultant has said no, I did get my flu jab though, you would think it would be the same rules for this illness but everyone seems to be different I think that's why it's so confusing........ Your gp sounds like mine really lovely and I am glad I found her x
