Blood Clots - Connected with PMR?

Thank you. Yes I have my list of questions for my Rheumatologist and this is one of them (if I should see a Neurologist or are my strange nerve symptoms a side effect of PMR or Prednisone). I agree. Each day is something different. Isn't it remarkable?! That is so great that you are nearly 100% pain free. That is my goal but it comes with a medication side effect trade-off, like you said. But I want my life back. I 'was' a very 'young', physically active 59 year old and I feel 20 years older. Best to you as well!

I'm a young 71.9. LOL. Felt like 80 for 5 months and had no idea what was wrong. I'm only seeing a Neurologist because my family doctor dropped the ball on this and when I insisted on blood work because I figured after all this time it might be rheumatoid arthritis. My CPR level was dangerously high and I insisted he refer me somewhere because he was retiring in a couple of weeks and I was scared. He had become very lax in his diagnoses of many things over the last couple of years. So that's how I ended up in Neurology. The earliest in Canada I can get into a Rhematology Clinic is end of May and that's on an "urgent" basis. As of today, life is way better than 5 weeks ago. One day at a time...
