Two steps forward, one step back…July 12, 2016 at 2:28 pm | Posted in arthrits, arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 10 Comments

Well, yes, the knee flare was completely over … for a few days. I was just getting back into the swing of things, gradually building back up the length of my lunchtime walks from a few hundred yards to half a mile, to three-quarters of a mile … thinking I'd soon be back to the mile-and half … and then I woke up in the middle of last Friday night thinking 'Ouch!' I'm telling myself it's not really flaring this time … I haven't decided yet whether I'm lying to myself.
I certainly don't want another dose of prednisolone just yet… if they'd even give me one, which I doubt. Having said I never have side effects, Carla happened to mention that sleeplessness and irritability are major side effects of pred, and guess what… I had a really sleepless and irritable week while I was on it – I just failed to attribute it to the pred. Now it all makes sense. And OMG, the night sweats!! I had no idea that was a side effect and I get hot flushes anyway so I just thought, 'Coo, bad hot flushes, much worse than usual!' I was slightly worried that this was more than hot flushes as the 'sweats' part was a whole lot more dramatic …again, I hadn't realised this is a common side effect of the pred.
Now I'm still ALL for the steroids – the side effects, now I realise that's what they were, were horrible, but the flare was much, much worse. The side effects I personally experienced were definitely the lesser of two evils and the pred let me carry on with my life and work, which I couldn't have done without it. However, having said that, it does make the thought of another does quite unappealing if it can be avoided.
This time round the knee's not hot, it's not especially swollen and it's not actually madly painful … it's stiff but bendable, so really quite different to the definite flare I recently experienced.
Remember those knee-strengthening exercises I was doing, so that if I flared again I would have strength in the surrounding muscles and hopefully come out of it faster? No? Well you wouldn't because I forgot to post about them. Unfortunately I have also forgotten to do them for the last few months, which is a pity really because I suspect that's what the problem is now. As a horribly unfit person, having a bit over a week practically off my feet means I do need to build up those muscles etc. again and I think the minor pain and stiffness I'm experiencing is probably all about that.
So, spend goodness knows how long fighting for a doc appointment, to be told, if I'm lucky, that they'll refer me to physio, which will take six weeks minimum, by which time I hope I'll have recovered anyway, or just carry on and hope? I'm going for the latter at the moment. Wish me luck!

Hurrah – I finished my week's worth of prednisolone last night and I'm glad to say the knee is better! Oh … and the helpline phoned me back … on Monday … so five days after I phoned them. Yeah, like I said, they really are NOT for emergencies! I didn't actually get to speak to her as she phoned on the home number even though I'd requested they try me at work. 'If you didn't manage to speak to the doctor or need some advice, do call us back.' I did see the doctor and didn't need advice, so I haven't called back.
I'm still getting a bit of pain in that knee on and off, but then I usually do; I've got full 'bendability' in it and most of the time it's not hurting, so I'm quite content … although I do feel as though I've just run a marathon, having been cheering on Andy Murray as I watched him (on the telly) fighting his way to the semifinals at Wimbledon!
The frustrations of not having a relationship with your doctorJune 29, 2016 at 4:32 pm | Posted in arthrits, arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, joint pai, Me, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 7 Comments

Thanks to the state of the NHS today (which, if you read this blog often you will know I harp on about endlessly) it is simply not possible to have a relationship with your GP these days (unless you're incredibly lucky or live on some tiny island that actually has its own GP or something!) My GP practice has around 10 GPs plus locums. It's pot luck who you get to speak to when you call and they phone you back, and then if they decide you should be seen you won't see the person you spoke to that morning.
It also seems that they don't have much of a relationship with the hospital and seem to have some sort of mythic belief in the power of the rheumatology helpline, as I've also mentioned before.
The myth
The patient calls the GP because they have an RA flare. This is a shocking waste of the GP's time because these lucky, .lucky patients have an RA helpline that they can call and that will solve all their problems. They can speak to a lovely nurse* straight away and the nurse will wave her magic wand, waggle her magic pixie ears and solve the patient's problem.
* Actually that's the only true bit – the one we have at the moment IS a lovely nurse!
The facts
The lovely nurse, or even a secretary or receptionist, never EVER answers the helpline. It is an answerphone. That's the way it's set up. It's not an answerphone on odd occasions when they're exceptionally busy, it's ALWAYS an answerphone. The message on the helpline says something like: 'If you're calling about a non-RA related problem, please call your GP. If you're calling to change an appointment, please call reception. If you're calling about an urgent need, please call your GP. If you're calling to buy fish, please contact your fish monger. If you're calling to moan about Brexit, please contact your MP. If you're calling because you're a moron, voted 'Leave' and can't work out what a helpline is for, please call someone else and bother them. Now, if you really, really want to leave a message, we suppose you can. Give us your hospital number and name and telephone number and we'll try to call you back in 24 hours – but no promises mind.'
I don't know about you (actually I probably do, if you have RA) but I consider a flare pretty urgent.
While in an ideal world I would sit back on a couch, watch the telly and let my servants feed me grapes while I rested my knee and waited to see if it would clear up on its own, I do actually have a life (and no servants, and hubby is great but also has a life, and the cat just ain't interested in helping), so I can't just sit about and rest it. On that basis I can't wait potentially 48 hours or more for the helpline to phone, and the nurse say, 'Call your GP and get some prednisolone' because then I can't call the GP until Monday as 48 hours is Friday morning and by the time I've heard back from the helpline the GP has run out of appointments. By that time I will have been flaring for over a week!
What Polly did Next
So … I went to the appointment grudgingly granted me by the grumpy GP. (Ooh, nice alteration that penguin!) Fortunately it's with a much more pleasant locum GP than the one I spoke to on the phone. Unfortunately of course she doesn't know me from Adam (or strictly speaking, as a doctor, she can probably spot I'm not Adam from the wobbly bits, so I should say she doesn't know me from Eve). This means that she doesn't know if I'm a moron or not, and therefore has to assume I am, as we always have to cater for the lowest common denominator.
'How can I help you?'
'I'm having an RA flare in my knees, as usually particularly in my left knee. It's stiff, not very flexible and painful at times.'
'Have you called the helpline, because really -'
'Oh, and what did they say?'
'I said I'd called them, not that I'd spoken to them!' I then explained, gently, 'cause she was a locum and therefore wouldn't necessarily know any better, the realities of the helpline. (I didn't mention Brexit or fish mongers.)
'Hmm, you had a blood test only yesterday and your bloods were hardly elevated at all.'
'They never are.' The mere fact that my bloods are even a smidge elevated is a pretty strong indication of a flare with me. Sometimes I flare and there'es no indication whatsoever in the bloods. Now this is where a doctor relationship would come in handy. If she'd actually known me, known that I've had RA for nearly ten years, known that I've had umpteen flares in my left knee, known that blood tests are not a helpful indicator with me, known that I have a brain, we could have skipped the pointless bits, more of which are coming up.
'Ah, well let's have a look.' Prod, poke.
'Did that hurt when I pressed there?'
'No, I just thought I'd make screamy gurgling noises for fun.' (Nope, I didn't really say that either, I just said yes.)
'Can you bend it?'
'This much.' Demonstrated a very slight bend.
'Ah. Have you tried pain killers… like paracetamol?'
I'm afraid I just looked at her and laughed, finally managing to choke out a 'yes', followed by 'interspersed with ibuprofen.' She looked amazed that I'd been able to think of painkillers all by myself.
'Well I'll prescribe a course of steroids. Now if they don't work, we'll have to consider other possibilities like osteoarthritis, as they should work for RA.'
'Well, they've worked every other time I've had them, so touch wood that they will this time too.'
'Oh … right.' Look of mild astonishment, either that I'd had them before (it's in the notes dear) or that I actually knew that I'd had them before, who knows.
So I thanked her very nicely, 'cause I'm a well brung-up penguin … and I might run into her again, and off I went to the chemist to get my steroids.
Again, after nearly ten years of RA, I think I recognise an RA flare when I see one … I really hope I'm not proved wrong and that the steroids do work again this time and it doesn't turn out to be OA. That would be sooooo embarrassing after this post!
Wow – where did that come from?June 27, 2016 at 1:38 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 3 Comments

I haven't posted for a while because I haven't really had much to post about – health-wise I've been good. I've been a bit stiff in the mornings for the last few days, but nothing to write home (or indeed blog) about. Then today I woke up stiff and tired, having had a migraine try to start in the night (successfully stopped with drugs!) I really couldn't wake up for an hour or so this morning – not literally, I got up, had breakfast, went to work, but felt really brain fuggy. (Can't blame the methotrexate as I take it Monday evenings and it's Monday morning!)
Then when I got up to go to lunch, or rather tried to, I started to stand up and ended up collapsed back in my chair. No dramatic pain or anything – I was just so all-over stiff that joints weren't doing what they were supposed to do! So after sitting a minute or two and flexing various bits (luckily on my own in the office so no one to see how weird I looked) I managed to get up and go for a short walk. I've been trying to walk about 1.5 miles at lunchtime but today I didn't make 0.5 miles! The stiffness did mostly ware off but I was left with significant pain in the good ol' left knee, where I usually get a flare if I'm going to have one. I'm really hoping I'm not!
Perhaps it's the stress of 'Brexit' – the 'Wow – where did that come from?' title could also apply to that and it seems that partially to blame (apart from racists, stupid people and perhaps a handful of people with genuine concerns) may be the polls (as opposed to the Poles, which a lot of East Anglia would like to blame, I'm sad to say). The polls kept saying we'd vote to stay, so people decided that it wouldn't matter if they had a 'protest vote'. 'Let's vote leave, just so the government can see we're annoyed with them – we'll end up staying anyway.' I've actually heard people say it, and then there's this http://article in the Independent. No doubt people like this thought they were being terribly clever and original, but you get enough people doing the same thing (not that original after all guys) and guess what, we end up voting Leave.
Never mind the embarrassment of waggling stiff limbs about randomly in front of people, I feel embarrassed to be English at the moment! (I would say British but the Scots voted to stay!)
Hopefully the stiffness and knee pain will be a short-term issue. Alas, the same cannot be said for the state of Britain!
Unexpected Hospital InvoiceFebruary 5, 2016 at 11:44 am | Posted in arthrits, arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 9 Comments

I got an invoice in the post yesterday from the hospital, 'Charge for prescription fee'. I haven't had a prescription fro the hospital – what the heck are they on about? Then I thought, 'Aha – it's probably for my appointment on 8th Feb – the injection' so I phoned finance and pointed out that I had a pre-payment certificate, expecting a whole load of argument about, 'Oh, we don't deal with those', but no – it went very smoothly and she processed it through with the pre-payment certificate- all fine.
Then I took another look at the invoice for some reason – not sure why – and read it properly. 'Charge for prescription fee 17.01.16 – as no credit terms are offered, please remit by return. If no payment is received within 30 days the invoice will be passed to our debt collection agency.'
Now I was pretty riled and slightly confused – but imagine how some poor little old lady would feel receiving that – OK, it's not a large amount of money but the aggressive tone is enough to give you palpitations if you're that way inclined. (I'm not, luckily – it just made me cross!) So I phoned the finance department back and said, 'Oy, what's this about 19th of January. I wasn't there on the 19th of January.' only (slightly) more politely. 'Just a moment, I'll check …' <Hold music> 'Yes, that's right, it was processed on the 19th of January.' Deep breath … 'Yes, I know that … but I wasn't there on the 19th of January so what is this for?' 'Oh … er…. we've only got the same info that you have – we're just asked to process the invoice. So you didn't have an outpatient visit?' 'No.' 'And you didn't visit A&E?' 'No …' Did I not just say I wasn't there? Was that not clear enough? Obviously not. 'Oh … well, would you like to check with pharmacy?' So she gave me the pharmacy number and said, 'But don't worry, it's processed on your per-payment certificate anyway.' And I'm afraid that riled me even more – typical number-cruncher attitude – it doesn't really matter what it's for as long as the numbers balance. But I didn't say anything except a polite thank you for the pharmacy number.
So I phoned the pharmacy – 'Oh yes, it's for an injection – it was sent to your GP on the 19th of January.' '
'It better not have been – because they can supply their own quite handily I believe – they don't need them sent from the hospital. Are you telling me I'm being charged for something I'm not going to get because my next appointment is with the hospital, not the GP? Or is it perhaps a dose that's been sent to the hospital rheumatology department, because I do have an appointment with them on 8th February.' And of course that's what it was. Hurrah.
Is it really that hard to put on the invoice 'For hospital methotrexate injection on 8th February' and take out the whole 'You are an evil person who hasn't paid instantly for something you didn't even know about' bit? Apparently so. Grrr …
And that only took 20 minutes to sort out and was a one-off. A very intersting post from Carla over at Carla's Corner, on the time needed to cope with a chronic illness. I have a tiny weeny fraction of what she has to cope with and it still gets me grumpy and slightly stressed.
The bit at the end of a flare that I always forget about!January 22, 2016 at 9:45 am | Posted in arthrits, arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Leave a comment

Yay – the swelling has pretty much all gone and so has the inflammation – I have pretty much full 'bendability' back in my left knee – woohoo … but yes, I'm still being careful! Of course if you have an injury, swelling and inflammation happens for a reason – to take more blood to the area to repair the injury, and to stop you moving it in ways that are going to cause the injury to worsen. Now in RA, given that it's those helpful wee blood-cells that are actually doing the attacking and causing the injury, it kind of confuses things a bit, but nevertheless the swelling DOES stop you moving the joint in ways that are likely to cause more injury … and when the swelling's gone, so is that warning and protecting system. And one thing hasn't gone yet … the pain! Luckily the pain isn't there all the time for me, which is great – I'm very, VERY glad about that – but it does mean that while I'm sitting at my desk pain-free and want to leap up and get a cup of coffee, it's rather important to remember not to leap unless I want to end up an embarrassing heap on the floor!
Hospital appointment – only 7 months lateNovember 20, 2015 at 9:27 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 13 Comments

I've just had my April hospital appointment – well, it was supposed to be in April – then they moved it to June .. then they moved it to August … then they moved it to September … then they moved it to November… but this time it didn't get cancelled. Right, I thought, I've seen no one at the rheumy department in 13 months, I'm going to make a LIST of things that I need to ask about, 'cause my memory's shot. I know doctors hate lists but when you have to wait 13 months for an appointment you don't want to forget anything, right? Right! Shame I forgot that I'd made the list then, and consequently forgot to ask about the dry mouth, although I think I covered everything else… except memory problems of course. I don't think a rheumy clinic is going to be that interested in my forgetfulness anyway!
Everything else was more pain and stiffness in the hands and feet than previously, two nasty flares in my knees over the past year and a lump on my finger.
For the first two, my methotrexate has gone up to 20mg from 17.5mg. The nice boy (sorry, young man – I'm getting old, all the registrars look like children to me) was slightly horrified that I started off eight years ago on 5mg (or possibly 7.5mg) as they're now much more aggressive and he said they'd never start anyone on less than 15mg so really 20mg is nothing. He also said if stomach upsets were a problem them can move me over to a self-injecting pen. I wasn't too keen on that idea – I've only had two or three stomach upsets over the year that MIGHT have related to MTX and it's possible that none of them did – I have a dodgy tummy anyway!
For the lump on the finger, he said since it was on my left middle finger and I'm left-handed it was probably just where I rested a pen. I said, 'Who writes these days?! I almost never hold a pen! I type everything,' to which he laughed, agreed and basically said, 'Dunno'. It's not painful and it's not growing alarmingly so 'dunno' is fine for the moment!
The ridiculousness of the DAS score was brought home to me yet again. As the nice boy put it, 'You might as well be amputated below the knee as far as that's concerned' and one of my main problems is feet! Daft! It also included a rating of how has the RA been THIS WEEK. Who gives a monkeys about this week – I haven't seen anyway for 13 MONTHS! He took that on board too, bless him, and although I scored 'low disease activity' with four sore joints and pretty good thank you for this week, he accepted that my RA wasn't under control if I'd had two bad flares this year; hence the MTX increase.
He also said if the appointments started slipping again, I should phone reception and point it out and they'd stop it happening – my faith in reception, on a score from 1 to 10 – zero. Not that I really think it's their fault – they're just the front line when it keeps happening and I phone up and say 'Oy' and they say, 'Not our fault,' which it's not!
Anyway, I've got a nurse practitioner appointment in February – let's see how much that gets moved – not that I need it in February – May would be more sensible, but I'm hesitant to cancel!!

Well my knee is very definitely better – From being barely able to hobble across the room, one predniselone taper later and I'm almost back to normal – I'm back at work, doing my lunch-time walks again, carrying on as normal … almost. The things is I'm getting twinges in that knee after walks, and I haven't dared try exercise other than walking yet, and it's generally more painful and tender than it was – I still have huge tracts of time when it doesn't hurt at all, I'm delighted to say, but it probably hurts more and more often than it did pre-flare. I don't know yet whether that's because things are still settling down after the flare – it's been nearly two weeks now which is long for me but not long in the scheme of RA things – or whether there's been some damage done to the knee and this is the way it's going to be from now on.
Here's hoping it's the former!
As to non-RA related stuff, I'm very sad to have to say that 'Enormous Cat' died a few weeks ago. We miss him enormously! Well, Hubby and I do. Tiny Cat 2 isn't the slightest bit bothered! 'All the more crunchies for me' I think is her attitude.
On the brighter side, we had a fabulous holiday to Whitby, where we were lucky enough to get a room upgrade in the very nice hotel and had a generally lovely, relaxing time, and, in spite of seriously steep hills, the RA pretty much behaved itself. I did wimp out of a really steep and windy trip up to see a waterfall … but it wasn't as though we'd planned that anyway. We just stopped in a village cafe for a coffee, got chatting to a couple and their very friendly (and perpetually hungry dog) and he said 'Have you been up to see it yet?' And we said 'See what' and it turned out there was a fairly famous waterfall there. I did manage to see the wonderful Whitby Abbey, which I had been really wanting to visit for years.
The Yorkshire Moors were magnificent, and yes, we did have some good weather too, in spite of the Abbey photo above with the foreboding clouds!
And Castle Howard was deeply impressive … although the only bit I really liked was the Arts & Crafts Chapel – amazing! (The 'new wing', built in 17-something, was also nice, but the neoclassic earlier part of the house I personally found rather cold, although Hubby loved it!)
All in all a very fine holiday – but could have done with another week!
Are you tired of not having your fatigue concerns taken seriously?June 17, 2015 at 9:03 pm | Posted in arthrits, arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment

Last year I attended the Future of Health 2014 Conference, having applied to be a 'citizen journalist' and tweet about the event. There was a big focus there on listening to the patient, and that's certainly not an isolated event. The excellent Creaky Joints report on the EULAR conference makes it clear that this is a much bigger thing. The thing that especially caught my eye was that FINALLY we're being listened to regarding fatigue. Fatigue is not correlated to disease activity, a study by the UK's National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society, which I participated in by answering a survey, found; in other words, I can have mild, controlled RA and still be bloomin' … erm … exhausted the whole time! There's a good chance that if you're reading this blog you're an RA sufferer, and if you are there's a very good chance you already knew this, but I'm quite sure most of the medical profession did not – and does not, and it is through listening to patients (or patient-led societies) that they are finding out.
Combine this European-wide event with all the patient activity at the American College of Rheumatology event last year, and the fact that even in my little provincial hospital the consultant was genuinely wanting my opinion on things last time I saw him, and I really do feel there's something positive going on.
I know it won't be perfect, I know there are still plenty of medics out there who don't understand RA at all, and even the specialists will often think what's on their charts is more important than how we feel, but it certainly seems to be a move in the right direction.
The NRAS survey highlighted in the Creaky Joints report indicated that 66% of patients surveyed (in the UK) were never asked about their fatigue and 79% said it had never been measured. At the moment though, there is no generally accepted measurement of fatigue, so any fatigue studies are a bit hard to take seriously. The next stage should probably be to agree a way of measuring fatigue so that studies can be sensibly compared and conclusions reached.
And now NRAS has another survey – this one is all about how much input or influence RA patients have in their treatment decisions, so if you're based in the UK and have been diagnosed in the last ten years, go ahead and fill it in; your views could form part of the next EULAR conference; who knows!
Tooth aches and irritationsMay 31, 2015 at 3:20 pm | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 10 Comments

Well, the last few weeks have certainly been interesting … in the Chinese curse kind of a way, although there have been some great highlights including a couple of painting classes and a textile workshop. Mainly though, things have been rather dominated by toothache … and irritation!
I had a niggley toothache, not bad, just on and off, but with a lot of sensitivity to hot and cold as well, so eventually I bit the bullet (ouch) and went to the dentist – who ummed and erred a bit and said that hopefully it just needed a bit of filing down, but if it didn't it 'could be nasty'. Not the words you want to hear from a dentist really. He said if the filing down didn't work, to come back the next day … it didn't; I did.
Now bear in mind we're extremely busy at work at the moment and the dentist is in a village up the road and it takes around 20 mins to get there from work. So a visit takes at least an hour all told – and I had to do two in two days – frustrating! On the second visit he did the briefest of examinations and said, 'Reckon it's an abscess – have some antibiotics' … so I did … but I was cursing because I thought, 'Why didn't he just give them to me yesterday, and save me an hour?!'
I got back to work, opened the packet of Amoxicillin, glanced at the leaflet inside and it said, 'If you're taking any of these medications, talk to your doctor first' and one of them was methotrexate!
Muttering under my breath I picked up the phone and phoned the dentist – and had to waste more time trying, and failing, to explain what the problem was to the receptionist. Understandably the dentist wasn't available immediately – no doubt he had his hands in someone's mouth – so I waited for him to call back … and waited … and waited …
I knew there was absolutely no chance of getting hold of a doctor that day and, as the tooth was getting worse, I didn't want to wait until the next day and then I had a brainwave … or perhaps a brain storm (in the old-fashioned sense!) I thought, 'Hang on – isn't that 111 number supposed to be the NHS non-emergency number – they can answer queries, I'll ask them.' I took a brief look at the website and it said '111 is the NHS non-emergency number. It's fast, easy and free.' Sounds good, I thought, so I rang it. It was answered very quickly and as I was talking to the pleasant lady who answered I noticed on the same page as 'non-emergency number' it said, 'You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation.' I felt a bit embarrassed because clearly it wasn't that urgent, and even more embarrassed when I explained the issue and she said, 'What symptoms are you having?' And I said, 'None – I haven't even started taking it yet!' She was lovely though and put me through to 'a clinician'.
Now I'd done a bit of a checking up on the internet first and the issue is that Amoxicillin can cause the methotrexate not to be properly excreted from the body, resulting in a potential build-up of toxins from the methotrexate. I could find no indication of a) how much MTX you'd need to be on to have a problem b) how much Amoxicillin you might need to have a problem or long you'd have to be on it for or c) How long the effects might last, since I'd had Amoxicillin only about 3 weeks ago for the sinus infection that was part of the reason we failed to get to Barcelona!
The clinician came on the phone. He clearly had not the foggiest idea why it would matter that I was taking MTX and Amoxicillin, so I briefly explained as above. 'Well,' he said, 'you seem to know the answer then.' Helpful … not! So I pointed out that no, I didn't know the answer, since the question was having been prescribed it, should I or shouldn't I take it? What was the level of risk? And so on …
'Oh … er … um … well' he said … and so on for a while … 'I think I wouldn't risk it really. You need to talk to your dentist.' I explained I was trying to do that and would continue to do so! I felt very strongly that he really didn't have the foggiest notion and was just covering his back, as if he had said, 'Oh I think it's fine' and then I died of toxic MTX build-up, that could have been his career down the tubes … and I suspect it was a career that had barely got off the ground so far anyway.
So I called the dentist back – receptionist again – and to look like I wasn't nagging I said I had a bit more information that I'd previously forgotten to mention (which was true) and explained that I'd also had Amoxicillin in April and wasn't sure if it stayed in the system. Given that Mr Dentist phoned me back almost immediately this time, I can't help wondering if she'd completely forgotten to pass on the message the previous time.
'Oh,' said Mr Dentist, 'I've got some different information from you … as I understand it, the Amoxicillin can cause a build-up of methotrexate in the system.' I said yes, that was the information I had too and he said that that wasn't the message he'd been given from the receptionist. I bit my tongue, swallowed down the sarcy comment on the tip of it and said sweetly, 'Oh dear – I obviously didn't explain it very well then,' which in fairness was probably true!
'Well,' he said, 'You're a sensible sort of girl. I'm sure you can monitor things and if there's any problem, see your GP.' I pointed out that I had no idea what sort of problems this toxicity build-up might cause. 'Hmm, neither have I,' said he, 'you'd have to ask a doctor!'
So – I've now lost count of how much time I've wasted and really I don't feel any nearer to knowing if I should be taking the damn stuff or not – but he had looked it up on the drug interactions database and said it didn't appear to be a major problem, so I started to take it anyway.
The next day I decided that perhaps I should ask the doctor – after all, it's only a phone-call. With the new surgery system you have to have a phone call first from the doctor and then they see you if they feel they need to, and I was sure they wouldn't need to for a simple question.
Unfortunately I forgot to call until about 10 am so most of the appointments had gone. I explained the situation to the receptionist and said was there any chance of a call back and she said she'd have to ask someone. Now he was either new or a locum, not sure which, and for reasons best known to himself he decided he'd see me! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, more time wasted!
So I went for my appointment and the first thing the pompous little man said was, 'I don't really believe in prescribing antibiotics anyway, but as you've been prescribed them … I mean normally the body can manage to heal itself without them. Of course there are some circumstances where one might have to, but it's quite rare …'
I replied, 'On the one hand, tooth abscess, notoriously difficult to get rid of; on the other hand, immunosuppressed; don't you think this might be one of those rare situations?'
He looked quite shocked to have his little lecture so rudely interrupted and, pomposity temporarily punctured, he replied, 'Oh …er … well … probably in this instance, yes.'
So … back to square one – do I or don't I take the dratted antibiotics? And the answer was … YES! Take them. I have to say though that even the doctor didn't seem absolutely 100% sure! He did check the database again and he did say, 'It's not even a red warning' and I had seen on the internet that the evidence for this toxic build-up was quite slight and I, I think, not in humans, so I was somewhat reassured in the end.
I'm glad to say that the tooth does seem to be clearing up, and I've not yet keeled over from any toxic build-up!
Hubby did point out afterwards that I could have probably saved a lot of time and effort by asking the pharmacist – wish I'd thought of that! Must try and remember for next time. Another sensible option might have been to ring the hospital rheumatology helpline – but I haven't used it since my very poor experiences years and years ago and I don't actually know the number anymore. Next hospital visit, I must get it!
Of course, all this makes it all the more important to go for my monthly methotrexate blood test … and therein (of course) lies another tale … for a later post!

The Death From Above 1979 remixes album has some pretty nice twists to their original songs like Romantic Rights, Black History Month and Sexy Results. There are four remixes for both Romantic Rights and Black History Month which already makes up 8 of the 13 songs. There are also 2 B-side songs which is pretty nice. Most of them are house remixes with lots of flashy electronic sound effects.
I can say I am quite impressed...more songs you can dance to! The MSTRKRFT edition of Sexy Results is a real treat.

Youth who watch a lot of movies with cigarette-smoking characters, no matter what the film's rating is, are more likely to start smoking themselves, according to a new U.S. study.
The lead author of the report, which appeared in Pediatrics, said the conclusion supports the idea that the smoking itself - not the sex, profanity or violence that may go along with it in certain films - influences teens to take up the habit.
"Movie smoking seems to be just as impactful if it's packaged in a PG-13 movie as opposed to an R movie," said James Sargent, from the Geisei School of Medicine at Dartmouth in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
"I really think it's a 'cool' factor. The more they see it, the more they start to see ways that (smoking) might make them seem more movie star," he told Reuters Health.
Sargent and his colleagues counted how many times a character was seen smoking in each of over 500 box-office hits from recent years. Then they asked 6,500 U.S. children aged 10 to 14 which of a random selection of 50 of those movies they'd watched.
The average "dose" of movie smoking was 275 scenes from films rated PG-13 and 93 scenes from R movies, the researchers said.
In three subsequent interviews with the same youths, those who had watched smoking-heavy movies were more likely to pick up the habit themselves. For each extra 500 smoking shots reported in their initial survey, young people were 33 to 49 percent more likely to try cigarettes over the next two years.
The effect of on-screen smoking was not significantly different for PG-13 and R films. Because young people tend to see more PG-13 films, Sargent's team calculated that if smoking automatically earned an R rating, the number of youngsters who try cigarettes would drop by 18 percent.
In the United States, a movie rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America suggests some material may be inappropriate for kids under age 13. An R rating means children under age 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
"At this point, it is established that exposure to smoking in movies is a potent risk factor for actually taking up smoking, especially when the exposures are early," said Brian Primack, head of the Program for Research on Media and Health at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
"This study goes a step further and suggests that taking smoking out of all PG-13 movies could have a palpable effect on the impact of smoking in the US," he told Reuters Health in an email.
But another researcher who was not involved in the study said he wasn't sure if eliminating smoking from all non-R movies was "the magic answer."
Matthew Farrelly, who studies smoking at the scientific institute RTI in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, said the study is a step in the right direction but that he wasn't sure the researchers could totally discount the influence of violence and profanity in moves on kids' decision to try smoking just by looking at movie ratings.
"I'm hoping that someone can disentangle smoking in the movies from other content that might appeal to youth to really firm up the relationship," he said.
Though the link between on-screen smoking and trying cigarettes "makes sense," Farrelly added: "I just think the relationship has been vastly overstated." SOURCE: http://bit.ly/jsoh2P

FOLDABLE BOXES WITH INTERLOCKING COVER STRUCTURE April 19, 1966 Filed Dec. 28, 1962 5 2.5/76 ffa.
IN VE NTOR. 5. 5ru4er Saw-0N flrraewa 'zontal foldlin'es. side Wall panels which are bounded by vertical and horizontal foldlines (along which they are hingedly connected United States Patent 3,246,829 FOLDABLE BOXES WITH INTERLOCKING COVER STRUCTURE G. Stuart Sexton, Darien, Conn., assignor to International Paper Company, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed Dec. 28, 1962, Ser. No. 248,013 6 Claims. (Cl. 229-31) This invention relates to a folding carton or tray. More particularly, it relates to a folding carton, which can be made from a blank formed on a sheet material such as paperboard, having web corners and novel means by which to lock such corners and the carton walls into, position upon erection of the carton. Such carton has particular utility in the field of frozen food packaging, since its corners aid in making the carton leak-proof.
Folding cartons having Web corners and devices for locking such corners inthe erect position are known to those skilled to the art. However, it has been found that many of these derive from carton blanks which are not substantially rectangular in shape and are, therefore, wasteful of blank material or the sheets or webs from which they are cut or stamped. 'Moreover, they derive from blanks which include in their designs provisions for awkwardly extending protuberances, e.g., tongues and tabs, which, because they are in no sense concealed or protected, can be accidentally torn or damaged in untimely fashion. US. Pat. Nos. 2,909,105 and 3,008,626 present examples of this type of disadvantage.
It has now been found that such disadvantages can be overcome and that an appreciably less wasteful and accident-prone web corner carton with locking means can be produced. Broadly, this is accomplished by making a blank of sheet material for folding into a carton which, when finished, comprises a substantially flat rectangular unit having a bottom panel bounded by vertical and hori- Opposing end wall panels and opposing to the bottom panel) and end and side outer edges are provided, as are first web corner panels bounded by vertical foldl-ines (along which they are hingedly connected to the end wall panels), diagonal'foldlines, and first corner outer edges and second web corner panels bounded by horizontal foldlines (along which they are hingedly connected to the side wall panels), the diagonal foldlines (along which they are hingedly connected to the first web corner panels), and second corner outer edges. (Further, there are provided means, e.g., slits or cuts, by which devices for looking the web corner panels in place in the erected box or carton are formed. Thus, along the end outer edges, slits and, perhaps, short scores are employed to de'tfine and produce inwardly extending tongues; along the first corner outer edges, cuts are employed to make inwardly extending apertures; and, along the second corner outer edges, slits and, optionally, short scores cooperate to yield inwardly extending locking tabs.
Preferably, the tongues on the end wall panels of the blank of the present invention diminish in width, and in discrete stages, so as to fashion small wings or ears on the sides of the tongues as they extend inwardly from the end outer edges into the end wall panels. Again, it is prefer- .able for the apertures and the locking tabs to diminish in width as they extend inwardly from the several corner outer edges, for them to have substantially the same dimensions, and for them to lie substantially equidistantly from the diagonal foldlines immediately separating them. Then, when the tongues are made to be wider along the end outer edges than either the apertures or the tabs along the corner outer edges and when the tongues are suitably 3,246,829 Patented Apr. 19, 1966 disposed along such end outer edges, it will follow that in the erected and locked carton wherein the end and side wall panels are perpendicular to the bottom panel and each other, the first web corner panels are disposed adjacently to the end Wall panels, and the second web corner panels are disposed adjacently to the first web corner panels-the tongues are disposed in the apertures and beyond, .i.e., in the spaces left when the locking tabs are moved out of the sheet material from which they are cut or slit and into the interior of the carton, and the locking tabs (primarily because of the habit of the sheet material) impinge or abut against the tongues, holding them, with the aid of their wings, in such apertures and spaces.
For a better understanding of the blank and carton of the present invention, reference should be had to the attached drawings in which FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of the blank of the present invention.
FIGURE 2 depicts a partial isometric view of the carton made from the blank of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 shows a partial isometric view of the blank of FIGURE 1 as it is being folded into the erected carton of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 4 shows a sectional side view of the carton of FIGURE 2, taken along line 4-4; and
FIGURE 5 shows a partial isometric view of the carton made from the blank of FIGURE 1 with emphasis on its cartons end closure and end closure opening means.
As seen in FIGURE 1, the .blank of the present invention is made up of a bottom panel 10; opposing end wall panels 11 and .12; first web corner panels 13, 14, 15, and '16; second web corner panels 17, 18, 19, and 20; and, opposing side wall panels '21 and 2-2. These are all hingedly connected along vertical foldlines 23 and 24; horizontal foldlines 2-5 and 26; and, diagonal foldlines 27, 28, 29, and 30.
End wall panels 11 and 12 have end outer edges Ma and 12a; first web corner panels 13, 14, 15, and 116 have corner outer edges =13a, 14a. 15a, and 16a; second web corner .panels 17, '18, 19, and 20 have corner outer edges 17a, 18a, 19a, and 20a; and, side wall panels 21 and 22 have outer edge 22a and, in place of an outer edge, foldline 21a linking panel 21 and lid member 50 and its flaps 51, 52, and 53.
Alon-g outer edges Ma and 12a of end wall panels 11 and 12, FIGURE 1 shows tongues 11b and 12b which are formed, on each side, by connected cuts 11c, 11d, and He and 12c, 12d, and I122 and, on the ends thereof away from outer edges 11a and 12a, by scores 11f and 12f. It will be seen that the disposition of the connected cuts causes tongues 11b .and 12b to diminish in width as they extend into end wall panels 11 and 12 and to do so in three discrete stages (denoted by the letters 0, d, and e). The consequence of such staging, or, perhaps, staggering, is the formation of wings '11g and 12g on tongues 11b and 12b.
FIGURE 1 also shows apertures 13b, 14b, 15b, and 16b cut into first web corner panels 13, 14, 15, and 116 inwardly from outer edges 13a, 14a, 15a, and 16a. The sides of such apertures are seen to converge slightly. Again, the figure shows locking tabs 17b, 18b, 19b, and 20b cut into second Web corner panels '17, 18, 1 9, and 20 inwardly from outer edges 17a, 18a, 19a, and 20a and the convergence of the sides of such tabs. Beyond this, the substantially equal dimensions of the apertures and tabs and the substantial equidistance of, for example, aperture 14b and tab 1811 from diagonal foldline 28, Le, the foldline immediately between them, are shown.
The .proper folding at the carton corners of the blank of FIGURE 1 is shown in progress in FIGURE 3 and completed in FIGURE 2. Upon the erection of end wall panel 11 and side wall panel 21, for instance, first Web corner panel 13 and second web corner panel 17 are brought into a contiguous or abutting relation along diagonal foldline 27 so that panel 13 is disposed adjacent to or impinging against the carton inside of panel 1 1 and panel 17 is disposed adjacent to or impinging against the cartoninside of panel 13. A similar juxtapositioning of elements takes place at the other three carton corners. Because of the equidistance of aperture 13b on panel 13 and locking tab 20b from diagonal foldline 27, such aperture and tab are placed in registration with respect to one another when the corner structure of the carton of the invention is erect. Suitably, tongue 11b is so positioned along end outer edge 1141 as to arrive in registration with aperture 13b and locking tab 20b when they are in registration with each other. Then, the carton assembler, whether having human hands or mechanical, preferably automatic, means can apply pressure against the carton outside of tongue lllb, causing it to move into and through aperture 1311; against the carton outside of locking tab 17b; and, into and through the space left by such tab as it leaves the plane of panel 17 under such pressure. Having done the same thing at the other three carton corners, the assembler achieves a locked web corner carton or tray. For, the natural inclination of the material of locking tabs 17b, 18b, 19b, and 20b, particularly if such material is .papel'board, will be to resist the aforementioned pressure and to spring back into the planes of panels 17, 18, 19, and 20 when the pressure is released, thereby causing tongue wings 11g and 12g to imlpiu-ge against the carton insides of panels 17, 18, -19, and 20, since tongues and wings are suitably of a predetermined dimension that forbids their re passage through the narrower spaces left by the locking tabs and the narrower spaces left by the lockingtabs and the narrower apertures in panels 13,114, '15, and 16 without'extraneous manual or mechanical aid;
FIGURES 2 and 4 show the locking elements or devices of the present invention at that instant when the assembler has pressed the several tongues through the several apertures and spaces and before the several tabs have \perfected the locking. In use, the only difference in the carton is that, for instance, tongue 12b and tab 20b of FIGURE 4 would incline, rather than decline, from the horizontal.
Finally, as already noted, FIGU-R'El shows lid member 50 and flaps 51, 52, and 53. The use of these elements, is, of course, optional, but, if they are used, it is recommended to those skilled in the art to employ preprinted adhesive (-as reflected by the shaded areas on the blank of FIGURE 1) with them and, further, to provide a tear strip54 (see FIGURE formed by means of lines of weakness 55 and 56, e.g., perforations or slits, on flap 53 or some other portion of the carton so that it may be readily and conveniently opened by its ultimate con- SLllTlCI'.

text: Mead Johnson Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Mead Johnson ( MJN) has seen some ups and downs in the last few months, but that hasn't stopped the pediatric nutrition firm from generating gains of more than 15% this year. Coupled with a 15.38% dividend increase announced last Friday, MJN is well positioned to continue outperforming the broad market in 2012. Towards the end of 2011, there was some concern that the firm's Enfamil formula could have been tainted with Cronobacter bacteria, leading to the death of one child and the hospitalization of others. But the FDA and CDC effectively cleared the firm after not finding any traces of the bacteria in their testing. Although that risk knocked shares significantly lower to start the year, MJN has made up lost ground and then some in the last couple of months. Customer stickiness, government subsidies, and international growth are three key reasons why Mead Johnson looks attractive right now. With each of those tailwinds working to propel shares, the firm's performance thus far could certainly have further to run. While a 1.51% yield hardly makes MJN a core income holding, the payout is a nice added for investors who were willing to buy shares on other merits. Mead Johnson is one of the top holdings at Daniel Loeb's Third Point, and it also shows up in Renaissance Technologies' portfolio as of the most recently reported quarter.

* When plugged in through this unit, my phone did stop trying to sync data. So plus there.
* I connected a meter to the plug and it made no difference whatsoever to charging. The phone drew .75A without the adapter and .74A with it. So no significant change.
In summary, I'm not sure what exactly this thing is supposed to do. Perhaps if I had a lower-output USB port this would help but at .75A it didn't do anything. You be the judge I guess
I do recommend it to everyone, it is a sleek and unique design.
Thank you for making this available on Amazon I love it.
