I’ve had to do my own research, my symptoms are point on with Polymalsia Rhumatatic but Dr says “ it’s all in my head”!!! For 1-1/2 years I’ve been complaining and he refuses to address my issues. I found a n Orthopedic Surgeon who took his own X-Rays of my Cervical, shoulders, down arms. Immediately he injected a shot of Cortisone Steroid in each shoulder. Amazing as it starting working instantly. My body is full of Inflammation. This was June 13th. My hips hurt like heck when I walk. I have issues an Dr has no compassion, doesn’t listen to my issues. I need Prednisone !!
Going to call the office this morning and ask for a low dose, 10 mg, 2 x daily. Can’t sleep either. Insomnia. Take Alprosolam for GAD. But this does not help to sleep. Wondering what others use to sleep. As our body’s between the hours of 12:00 am and 4:00 am are repairing themselves, wakes me with muscle pain, cramps, etc. Miserable. Any suggestions?
