Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I hope so for you too, Mandymoo. I don't remember how often scans are done under my health service but I might be due one, too. It will be interesting for you and I to hear how the infusion thing has gone.

Wow, that seems short notice. Might as well get it done if you can though.

Infusion went fine, forgot it always makes me feel cold after so the heated car seats came in handy.

Feeling rather washed out today, and terrible indigestion (forgot about that bit).

Spending the day chilling as much as can

I'm glad it went well. I don't remember those symtoms. I'm expecting to hear of a similar appointment around January time. Hopefully, they won't drop gentle suggestions to drop my running mileage down, like they did last time. Does anyone else get comments on exercise, positive or negative?

I suffer with my stomach at the best of times anyway.

I always get conflicting advice about running - do it as helps the bones, don't do too much due to the arthritic joints!

I had confirmation that my bones are ‘normal’ following my recent bone scan :)

Dexa scan day tomorrow for me - last one 3 years ago and have been having annual infusions. Hoping bones haven't got any worse fingers crossed
