Making a start on prep.

Just ordered green haven portable stove in carry case with 8 gas cannisters. I did have a wind up torch/radio/solar panel saved to get today noticed its more then doubled in price. Luckily I found the stove on B and Q as I've noticed these are creeping up in price too. (All electric flat) . 2 weeks time I am going to buy a power bank for the phones and a small radio.

We are going to get a few packets of bottled water oh and I got a can opener, I have an all electric one due to my RA. He will look around for torches and batteries. Got a loaf of bread and butter in the bottom of the freezer and we will just add tins to our prep box lol

Is there anything I haven't thought of ? I cant get a month extra of all my medication either. Have a decent first aid bag I got recently. Will add pain meds, to it. Money is on the tight side, I have also started drawing out small amounts of money in case the banks crash, visa did back in 2017 nightmare lol . How much cash are people putting aside safe. Its me, my partner and our cat.

Methotrexate

I am stopping my MTX . I am still in chronic pain and its steadily getting worse. Its my hair, its completely falling out rapidly and I am devastated. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow I don't know if it will just be bloods and seeing my RA nurse. Either way I am letting them know that I'm not taking it. I have been on it since january and my RA factor is still sky high. I'm in the UK does anyone have any advice or if you have done the same?

I was also on 6 week prednisone script and my mental health is at breaking point. As yet apart from Naproxen and co codemol I have no pain relief either. I am at my wits end.

Prednisone

Hi

This is a follow up from Mondays rant. (I don't know how to link it)

Im starting a 6 week course of oral prednisone as im nearly seized up in my upper body, hands and knees. Is there any advice on how well this works and any really bad side affects to be mindful of.

I've been on MTX now for 7 weeks and I've woken up to a full flair. I am in agony from my shoulders, thumb joint to all over my lower limbs screaming and on fire. I am so sick of this . I'm literally laid in bed crying my eyes out. I thought there would be an improvement to all of this . I've honestly hit a brick wall with this . Near on 2 years of this . I dontneven know what more can be done. I don't know what to do anymore.
