I’ve posted a few months ago about these tablets that I’m taking, Cyclosprin for my Psoriasis.
Well now I have a stinking cold and raging sore throat which is a big no no while taking these, So I’m now off to the hospital for an “emergency appointment” 🙁
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a good one. Here’s to another year of blogging!

I’ve seen the latest in Bus Heating technology this week in one of our buses….
Someones been complaining that there isn’t enough pictures of me on here (God knows why!) so here’s one of me & Mrs C freezing our bits off on an open top bus in London last week…
Been to the Hospital today for my Three-monthly review. Been given another new set of tablets to try, Cyclosporin, Which is another type of Immune System supressing medication. All the usual side effects, But this time instead of affecting the Liver (Like MTX did to me) this one goes for the Kidneys. Also have to keep an eye on my skin as it does give me a “Higher risk of Tumours or other malignancies, particularly of the skin”… Nice!!
Oh, and back to swapping shifts with people all over the place again, Gotta have blood tests and blood pressure checks every week and hospital reviews every fortnight. I’m thinking permanent lates might be the answer! :/
Following on from the last post about saddo’ness… I think I’ve reached a new limit!
Winter Bobble hats for your Mobile! How cool is that!!!! LOL
Still I’m not the only one that does it…
I got a couple or presents (Not sure you’d call them that but still) for some people as a joke.
It’s amazing how happy they look with them LOL
You’d never catch me with summat so sad….. Ahem
Quite possibly the most boring video you’ll find on Youtube, Bits of my Sunday glued together into one video.. and No, I didn’t win anything….

Now into my third week at MK Metro, and it’s my first week out on my own without a trainer…. All going fine I think.
I’m still missing the friendlyness of Aylesbury depot, I find Metro, and especially the Bus Station a bit intimidating, But since starting here I’ve noticed my Psoriasis has started to slowly clear up, Which proves my theory that working all those hours on the 200 for Arriva wasn’t doing my health any good.
The problem being of course that my skin was at it’s worst when I started at Metro. I did plan to try and at least get my hands clear with steroid cream, But it hasn’t happened. This hasn’t helped with getting to talk to people as I can see them staring at my skin which then puts me on the defensive. :/
Oh well, I’ve only been on me own for 2 days, So we’ll have to see how it goes, At the moment I’m 80% certain I made the right decision to transfer.
Another 5 second video now, This bus must hold the record for the most annoying indicator sound! LOL

Can’t think of anything exciting happening since I last blogged so I’m gonna tell you all about the boring things instead LOL
My this sounds like a nice drug that I’m supposed to be starting shortly for my Psoriasis (If the liver function test comes back okay)….
Acitretin
What is it?
Acitretin is a type of medicine called a
…It will have been 4 weeks tomorrow since I took my last Methotrexate tablet for my Psoriasis.
I’ve gone from 98% clear “normal” skin to what’s below in just 4 weeks…
Just 4 weeks for it to start covering me again. I started taking the tablets last September. They gave me headaches, Made me want to throw up at least once a week and sometimes for days at a time, Made me so tired that I wanted to permanently sleep, But they cleared my skin. What I had been wanting since I was 14.
How quickly I’d forgotten the Pain & soreness that I put up with 24/7, The constant itching and scratching, The never ending hassle of applying various creams and moisturisers. But now it’s back, New red spots appearing almost daily, back to covering up again even when it’s hot & sunny, Back to having people stare at my arms, Seeing in their face that they either are dying to ask me what it is, but won’t, Or thinking they should get away as quickly as possible and avoid me as I may be contagious….and my Specialist wonders why it gets me down and why I have so much trouble making friends/Talking to strangers!!
For all the side effects those tablets brought upon me I’d take em again if I could.
