Today, I read in another thread that you say it’s not clearing up as quickly as before. That’s a bit rotten for you but l read the temperatures are supposed to get a bit warmer so let’s hope you are back to A1 condition very soon!
Thanks Arty.....
Yep, it's made me a bit grumpy as well....
I seem to be over the worst of the pain now after taking a few colchicine tablets, apparently they are strong little buggers and have to be treated with respect.....
It was because of this that I checked them out on the internet and apparently the way they work is to lower your immune system so your body doesn't react to the inflammation.....
I think that with all this covid flying around, lowering my immune system doesn't sound like a very good idea, so I've stopped taking them...
You only take them until your pain subsides anyway.
I'm missing not getting out for a run, or even a walk, but been keeping busy inventing stuff in the workshop, it's all been invented before but who cares....
I'm working on the wheel at the moment...(only joking) a metal detector is taking my time at the moment, and I'll be able to go out and find a Roman Hoard once this snow melts.
Stay safe Arty and thanks for your good wishes....
