Lol if Timmy is anything like my Sascha he will milk it for all he's worth. I'm glad you're enjoying you ipad I quite fancy one but as I already have a laptop there's no chance.

Heh, he seemed normal when I came down. He always has that cute sad yet adorable face on so it's hard to tell. He had milk with his meal though so I'm sure that made up for it, he's a cat trapped in a dogs body I'm sure of it. He's all snuggled on my lap curled up like a kitten.

My iPad is turning out great, Im really pleased with it. It's much slower to type but so much easier on my hands, so that's an unexpected benefit

What type of dog is sascha?

saschasmum

She's a King Charles cavalier and she's as soppy as anything. She's A ruby one which is not very common and she is my avatar picture. She's that dappy that she follows me everywhere. I can't even go to the loo in peace. lol. I'm glad you're finding the iPad easier to use.

Aww, Timmy follows me everywhere too. I wish i could work out how to upload photos on here so I could show everyone. Timmy likes growling at the postman and people parking their cars coming home from work, he also growls at my dad even though he's wagging his tail and goes towards him, silly muppet.

Typing on my iPad is getting a lot easier, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Urgh, i am in a lot of discomfort now though, well I guess it's a lot of pain too. That'll teach me to think twice about adjusting my meds.. I was feeling alright when i got up. I don't think the cold weather helps, but I can't afford to put the heating on. Layers, hot water bottles and hot drinks for me this winter. Brrrrrr!

Yes my Sascha wags her tail even when she growls, she's a muppet as well. I know what you mean about affording to put the heating on. I'm sat her in my big fleece dressing gown on, a thick fleece blanket over me, a small halogen heater on and I'm wearing fingerless gloves. My brothers tells me that I can't live like that but he's not the one paying the bills.

I've had to stop taking my stomach pills because I'm having an endoscopy on Friday and I'm dreading it. Its funny I think my tablets aren't working till I have to stop taking them, then I realise that they are working lol. :rotfl:

I'm not sure how to post pictures either, I only knew how to post a picture for my avatar.

That's exactly what I was thinking, ive been thinking the pain killers aren't working but having not taken any all day I'm really feeling it, so maybe they just need to be upped a bit. I'm seeing the dr on Tuesday so we will discuss it then.

How come you're having an endoscopy? Are you nervous? I would be!

Timmy is now asleep on me, snoring his little head off. I've got a stomach ache but I don't want to get up to take anything as he looks so cute!

I've been having stomach pains and also really bad heartburn. Finally plucked up the courage and got my brother to take me to the Drs. She thinks it might be gallbladder problems. So this Friday its an endoscopy, Friday the 12th is an ultrasound, Friday 19th is my diabetic eye test and then on the 22nd I have my appointment with the psychiatrist. I'm so stressed at the moment my IBS has kicked in as well as my anxiety problems. I really don't do well when I have to go out. I think I will have been out more this month that I have since January.

My cat and dog where all cuddled up and cozy then some numptys started letting fireworks off. I really hate fireworks, the cats only just come out of hiding.

I have some tablets like that! They don't seem to do anything, but if I don't take them I seize up all over. I forgot to tick the box for them on my prescription so haven't had them all weekend and I really felt it.

I've just found out that my mum is exchanging and completing on our new house on friday

It'll be a while before I move in because it needs to be accident-proofed for me but it's still exciting.

Hi their, what are you taking for your RA?

Im running a straw poll of what works because nothing has for me and the boney abnormalities are getting worse month on month.

I take 15mg methotrexate by injection every week.:eek:
The usual NSAIDs and pain meds.
And my boney bits are becoming more as well around the joints of my fingers and toes! They don't hurt but feel weird to touch!
