Stiff and Tired: Inhibiting COX
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011/06/inhibiting-cox.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Tuesday, 21 June 2011. They've got me on a great new medication now. It's called Etoricoxib and is another anti-inflammatory drug. I had to switch medication because I developed some pretty crippling inflammatory back pain and Diclofenac is pretty rubbish at tackling that. Posted by Dan Bowtell.

Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Monday, 6 June 2011. Yep Average waiting time at Guys Hospital Pharmacy is apparently 144 hours.

Stiff and Tired: From the waiting room
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011/06/from-waiting-room.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Monday, 6 June 2011. From the waiting room. I'm sitting here waiting for my appointment. Apparently Holocaust documentaries are where it's at. I guess most of the patients here remember it the first time. Posted by Dan Bowtell. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Stiff and Tired: January 2011
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Monday, 31 January 2011. Hanging up the guitar (for 6 months hopefully). I don't know. It depends what the next few months bring. If I can't be as good as I was, and improve beyond that then I don't really see much point picking the guitar up again. I won't enjoy it. Posted by Dan Bowtell. Links to this post. Wednesday, 19 January 2011. I've started swimming to see if building up a bit of fitness and muscl...

Stiff and Tired: June 2011
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Friday, 24 June 2011. See you in 6 weeks. er. make that 5 months. When you leave a hospital appointment with them requesting to see you again in 6 weeks you somehow imagine that is what will happen. Apparently not if somebody goes on holiday/resigns/gets fired. They are seemingly incapable of redistributing the workload amongst the remaining staff or hiring a replacement. Posted by Dan Bowtell. Arcoxia is ...

Stiff and Tired: April 2011
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Monday, 4 April 2011. Efficacy of Methotrexate - Who Knows? Methotrexate wasn't initially intended for treating arthritis. In fact, it's first use was in treating leukemia and was used a chemotherapy drug for a long time. It is certified for use in treating auto-immune disorders, such as psoriatic arthritis, but nobody really knows how effective it is. In two weeks time I should hopefully be part of a tria...

Stiff and Tired: December 2010
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Wednesday, 29 December 2010. Getting the best treatment. Let me start by saying that I love the NHS. I'm going to be a long term customer and I doubt that I could afford long term treatment for psoriatic arthritis without it. Unfortunately, what I've seen is that it is constantly in danger of letting down the most vulnerable. As I suspected the consultant did not inspire confidence and I left the hospital ...

Stiff and Tired: Sleep Does Good
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011/05/sleep-does-good.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Tuesday, 24 May 2011. Still no new on the trial. I'm starting to doubt whether it is the right thing to do. My symptoms seem to be largely manageable with enormous periods of rest. I just have to sacrifice my weekends to sleeping. Posted by Dan Bowtell. 1 September 2011 at 15:42. Dan, love your blog. Your humour shines thro. But Im on tender hooks, how did you get on with Methotrexate?

Stiff and Tired: Dactylitis Again
http://stiffandtired.blogspot.com/2011/08/dactylitis-again.html
Having just been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a guitarist tries to plan the rest of his life. Sunday, 28 August 2011. Thursday morning saw me being squeezed in with an unscheduled rheumatologist appointment. It turns out that when you do cancel a 6 week appointment and turn it into a 20 week appointment then things are liable to deteriorate. Currently it's dactylitis of the index finger on my left hand.
