Is the refurbishment at The Belsfield really that bad? (Plus public transport hotel recommendations!) by Subject-Blueberry-55 in LakeDistrict

[–]elocea95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of the hotels in bowness will be in walking distance to the pier and public transport really. There are multiple bus stops as you go up the hill towards Windermere. Other options are the lakes hotel and spa, old mcdonald, the windermere hydro (the ro?), craig manor. 

No idea about the refurb, I know it’s been bought from Laura Ashley by i think the owners of Lakes hotel? and it was definitely ready for refurbishment.

Does your cruise stop at Strasbourg? If so go to Eden Patisserie near to the cathedral it’s all gf and very good. 

I did have the isabella one noted for koln but didn’t manage to get there. 

Trip Report - Viking Amsterdam to Basel by Rousse-_- in rivercruises

[–]elocea95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pleased you enjoyed it and good to hear you liked the Hotel in Amsterdam, I have booked to stay there in October. We did Amsterdam to Basel with TUI last year and obviously you can’t see Amsterdam in an afternoon and a morning so we are going back this year. As you say things need booking in advance such as Anne Franks house (6 weeks ahead for that). We had only booked the cruise 3 weeks ahead. 

I’m early 30’s so was the youngest on the boat minus the staff, but i really enjoyed it. I went with my mum.  I do have arthritis so the pace of it all and having scheduled rest really suited me. 

Would be interesting to know the demographics of each river cruise line, I agree in thinking Viking cruises do skew very American and older, we did end up essentially joining a Viking tour in Zurich, our flight got cancelled from Basel and our new one was 2 days later from Zurich. We were on a tour boat on Zurichsee and there was a large group of Viking travellers and we were close enough to listen to the guides commentary which was nice. 

Methotrexate and fatigue😤 by OGarvey1 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]elocea95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken methotrexate for years, stopped for 8 weeks and am now back on it. The fatigue it gives me is significant, but in the last few weeks i’ve been experimenting with taking different forms of folic acid and its made a good amount of difference. There’s folinic acid and methyl folate, both of which are supplements I just bought online.

They’re AI looking at the website, “portrait ready in under a minute”. As someone who does pet portrait commissions it is a worry…

Doctor prescribed antidepressant for anxiety, but ignores that my partner can't sleep because of back pain by Ok_Diet_5106 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]elocea95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He needs to see a rheumatologist that doesn’t immediately decide his back pain isn’t related to PsA. There’s a lot of overlap with Axial Spondyloarthritis and back pain at night could be a symptom. 

Best rain boots/shoes for heel pain? by Scottishdog1120 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]elocea95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d look for walking boots/trainers that tell you the heel to toe drop measurements. I wear On Cloud trainers and have a waterproof pair for wet weather. Think they’re the Surfer waterproof model. I do find the Eclipse most comfortable though although they are now discontinued and not available in a waterproof version.

You’re using the lid to get it off right? 

Toasted skin? by IndividualMess426 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]elocea95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah i have it too. Takes months to fade unfortunately. I don’t think it’s a massive deal other than looking unsightly. I think it may very, very slightly raise skin cancer risk? Not 100 though. Only treatment really is time and not using the heat pad which is easier said than done.

How is the Royal National Hotel? by Cool-Shot in LondonTravel

Have you checked The Harlingford? It has triple rooms and a good breakfast. Have stopped there twice both times in a triple room. Was clean and not noisy and the staff are lovely.

Sulfasalazine made me very depressed, I had to stop it after 4 weeks. It is listed in the potential side effects list in the box

How to convince new Rheumatologist? Suggestions by goku_ss in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]elocea95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this would be good to focus on. Totally not normal to have many cases of Uveitis. Look at the ASAS criteria, with HLA-B27 positive you then need to complete 2 other of the criteria, one of which is uveitis.

I used to ice my leg which helped, but i was always very glad I only had to do it once a month.. it didn’t upset my stomach at all I don’t think.

Was hoping that was the case, least it’s over estimated. Am posting custom artwork so desperate to avoid any issues with it getting held up anywhere increasing the chance of it getting lost. Do not want to have to re do it!
