Came home this afternoon. Have started 60 mg pred today, feel so unwell that I don't know if its that or just the whole hosp/biopsy experience. The biopsy was so much more painful this time, really wasn't expecting it to hurt too much, but it did. The only good thing is that its short lived pain, but it has left me quite sore and needing pain relief which I didn't last time. Fasting blood glucose was ok, so only low sugar/sensible diet for now. More bloods taken before discharge, and further ones to be done Monday. Then back to see Prof on Weds 5th next week for all results. Think the plan is to try the Azathioprine again in a few weeks. Have come home to letter from work asking me to attend formal meeting with manager/HR re sickness. Meeting on 20th and can take RCN rep, so will have to get on that Monday. Also, have been "awarded" the great weekly sum of £72.00 (employment support allowance) from 26th March in recognition of having worked and paid my taxes every month since I was 18yrs........so nice to have your contribution to society recognised in such a generous way... I'm sure that equals my salary...............

  1. Hi Penny how are you on this lovely morning? beautiful weather isn't it?
    Its strange I always remember my first biopsy was a walk in the park and the ones that I've had since have always been so much worse.
    Great news that your blood sugar was ok and its good your getting your results promptly. I am a tiny bit better this morning so I hope that means im over the worst, I will find out more Monday..
    Thinking of you as always love to you and the donkeys x

  2. Hello penny, Glad you are home now though sorry you are feeling so ill. It is quite an ordeal having the biopsy etc and as you say the subsequent ones tend to be a bit worse. I hope that Wednesday goews well for you and that they have more idea of what is happening to you. Hopefully the Pred will soon kick in and you can at least start to enjoy eating again! Really important for you to rest well today, I hope it is sunny in Cornwall. It's very spring like here today. Hoping for good news for you. Jo xx
