Hello this is Beryl .....have an update on my condition .......our travels to Sicily were too much and coursed my PMR to spread to my waist .....now gone down to the hips and of course a lot more pain with it ......
Had my six month visit to OHSU in Portland and my Doctor, to put a long story short , wants to get me off Preds as I have been on it for ten years .....and has put my preds up to seven and a half for two weeks to get the inflamation down, and then five until I see him again....added to this is Methotrexate and folic acid.....tapering .....so it's watch this space and see how I get on with this new mix of meds....well must smile and put on a happy face .......Beryl
