Mum has recently been diagnosed with giant cell arteritis.... her CLP level was 143 :-(.... she is on 60mg steroids for over 2 months, they cant reduce them as the level shoots up, it is currently at 22... they want it to be 4.... she has rhumatoid arthritis, grade 3 COPD and osteoperosis.... she is having weekly blood tests... she's in with dr/a & e/ opticions on an almost daily basis... but... the last 2 days she has gone yellow... anyone know if thats normal? dr doesnt seem concerned... she's currently unable to eat or drink much too, its horrid

How are all our dogs all of a sudden ageing? i dont like it!.. Holly is 14 in october, Ed is 9... its wrong! I dont suppose anyone has any experience of Giant cell artritis?

I have a guinea pig called Dave lol

Jazz you should have rung the out of hours... Paul who I live with is an electrician for a local housing group, xmas eve he had 9 emergency call outs, 2 of which were beeping smoke alarms... they will come out and sort them

Snow I would be fuming too! we are in the process of having a 6ft wall built BUT on the side of us with no neighbour (we have a grass area 1 side... which makes it easier).. but I still notified my joining neighbour because of dust/noise I hate people who don't try and make an effort

Happy Birthday L:oobie! I hope you have a great day xxx

OOhh Kelly, i cant even imagine how that was for poot dex... Alex, is your wifi connection wireless to your pc or wired? I had this issue with BT, they told me the speeds were only going to be high if it is a wired connection SNow i really hope you get sorted asap and can be pain free

Happy birthday Alex, I am glad your beautiful boy is ok too! Jayne we've been back and forth vets with Dj the chinchilla .. originally thought to be conjunctivitis but last week he was sedated, xrayed and had swabs taken... exotic vet rung last night, I was mortified, he has ecoli.. in his eye!... I may have freaked much to amusement of exotic vet who says its 1 of those things... I thought everyone would assume the poor sod is kept in filthy conditions but his cage is cleaned daily (he is a dirty lil sod)... we have some gel for his eye which is doing a great job so far.. I hope your little lad is soon better

Not read back but saw this and wondered if anyones after boots.. https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/gg-groupon-goods-global-gmb-h-51-1997?division=merchandising-uk&nlp=1&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=5658&utm_campaign=UK_DT_DIS_FBK_TIM_TTT_BT_CBP_CHA_NBR_n%2A5658_c%2A5781_p%2A5436_x%2A643_z%2A6036183596933

Oh Kelly... i am so so sorry

Everything crossed for clear xray! Snow i use a mobility scooter at times, originally i had dads spare and kept that and his actual main used scooter running when weather was too cold for him to take out himself... but i have to admit i often use it to pop to shops, or if ive not been out for a few days and am anxious i take scooter for a run... that way i dont have to be close to people (my agoraphobic issues are partly down to fear of being near people).. its given me lots of freedom id not usually have had... plus when my m.e is bad it helps save my energy... the 2 we have arent collapsable but my neighbour has 1 she can pop in the car, all i will say is avoid the flimsy feeling ones and be careful going round corners as they arent as sturdy as the *normal* ones

Kelly funny you mention dogs and colours, Diesel moulted badly, well, his white bit did! Hope everyones safe with the floods

She does look bull lurcher... a friend of mine recently had to rehome 2 due to a change in their situation... ironically they were good with cats but 1 wasnt so great at times with smaller dogs

Wow 10 years already, happy birthday Refuge!
