Never a days illness, now this!!

Hello Joan

That's so good to hear from you again - we've missed your posts and always wondering how you are. That's such good news about Jim after all his earlier troubles and it must make him so much happier to be back at work. I do hope that now your lengthy treatment is over it has been a success and mainly hope that you are not in too much pain. Take care and always know that we are thinking about you even if we haven't heard from you. Lots of love.

Hi Joan, It is good to hear how you are getting on, and better news about Jim - that will make [u:a826d6ba33]you [/u:a826d6ba33]feel better even if [u:a826d6ba33]your[/u:a826d6ba33] health hasn't been sorted out yet. When there are two of you going through it life gets really heavy going doesn't it?

It's amazing how one feels one really knows and cares about people just through a computer isn't it, so do keep in touch!

hi Joan,

Welcome back from me aswell....It is great news that Jim is back at work and feeling better, but I am really sorry to hear that your own health is still giving you problems :cry: :hug: .

You have spent so much time worrying about Jim.....now it is time to look after yourself :wink: and let your medical team give you the care you need to get back on the road to recovery.

my very best wishes to you.

Love, Pauline.

Hi Everyone How are you all my dear friends, Jim as you know is back at work but he is still haveing small setbacks his arms, and hands,are still troubleing him [still cant spell] :lol: my health is not so good, but am going through tests so until i know the outcome i will not bore you with the details. Jim is really worried that he will have to go off sick again, as he has been pulled up about his sickness leave, After 22yrs he has never been off sick untill he took this illness, isint it terrible?he has to go and see the specialist later on this month but i cant go with him as i will be in hospital at that time for tests ultrasounds ect, he doesnt allways tell the docter everything, but hes a big boy now :lol: so he will have to be brave and tell the docter how he is feeling, he, he, but of corse he is frightend that he will be put off sick again, terrible he has to feel like that anyway i will post soon and let you know how things are until then God Bless all of you and thanks for listening JOAN X

Hello Joan

It's so good to hear from you again as I've been wondering more and more just recently how you are doing.

I'm sure Jim will be fine going on his own to see the specialist now as he will have gained some confidence and experience in dealing with the 'experts'. Now that he has a definite diagnosis and the firm have proof (if proof were needed) that he has this illness, Jim should ignore them pulling him up about about his sick leave.

Try not to stress about Jim as that wont help with the management and improvement of your own health problems.

Good luck with your ultrasound results and do come back and let us know how you and Jim both get on. :rose:

Hallo again, Joan and glad to hear from you .

If Jim reads the posts on here he will not be surprised that there are days when his arms hurt. His work must add to that as driving a heavy vehicle is a strain even with power assisted steering.

He knowas that he is not skiving and so do his doctors. It is a sad thing that some employers care so little for those who work for them..

Like Mrs.O I have thought often about you and look forward to hearing better news. Do please believe thart we do all think of you and want to hear. Love BettyE

Hello Joan

Nice to hear from you but sorry to hear you are both still unwell

Im sure Jim will cope with the Specialist better this time after seeing him before

I hope all you tests go well and we hear some good news form you soon

Best wishes

Mrs G

It makes me furious to think of Jim gettting so much stress from his employers :x ....it is the last thing that either of you need...but we are all here whenever you neeed to let off a bit of steam about them :wink:

very best wishes, Pauline.

[b:e0ece85632]Hi margaretann, You have already done the best posible thing to help your husband - you have come onto this site. It does give encouragement and hope that everything isn't all doom and gloom. It is not a nice thing to have and so far I have been lucky because I have not had pain since starting the steroids. Whats in the future - who knows? At least on this site you can talk to someone who understands what your fears are, I'm afraid, friends and relatives mostly foreget it becasue they cannot see it. Regards Jean[/b:e0ece85632]
