DDs flat purchase is still ongoing,there was a problem with some paper work that should have been witnessed when she signed it so it had to be done again. I posted that back last Sunday so we are hoping to hear something soon. They need to get a move on because she only has two months left, if it runs over she has to restart the application process for the flat with the housing society 😳Sunshine_girl2 said:Just catching up with you, so lovely to read that things are going well health wise apart from the annoying cough . How is your DDs flat purchase progressing , hoping it's stress free as these things can be .

the hospital rheumatologist I saw thought that GP’s tried to reduce steroids too quickly ( I needed a shoulder replacement and the orthopaedic consultant referred to him )
think you may need a slower reduction.
I was also told not to take ibuprofen whilst taking steroids .
hope B is comfortable,it’s a horrible time2 -

I'm sorry you're both feeling rough. Steroids can be hard to reduce, as you know, so perhaps that's a factor. I hope you both have a better day today.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I think after this dose it only goes down by 1mg a month. I felt ok today so will see how it goes . I didn't know about not taking ibuprofen, no ones said anything 😳Suffolksue said:the hospital rheumatologist I saw thought that GP’s tried to reduce steroids too quickly ( I needed a shoulder replacement and the orthopaedic consultant referred to him )
