Oh finally, a fellow PAN-ite!!
You are the first person with PAN I have ever been in contact with…
Aren’t we special! lol

PAN is serious stuff. I hope you have a rheumatologist who is familiar with this disease because it can be life threatening.
In my opinion, you are experiencing the effects of inflammation. I believe that you should consider taking prednisone. It can put the evil PAN in its place for awhile and prevent it from destroying your organs or nerves. Very important.
Most doctors know nothing about PAN. I have had to teach mine…
Please be careful with this situation. Keep me posted on your journey.

Honestly I don’t wanna be on prescription but the chills I get I think may be from Covid when I got in January. But I do agree with you that my other symptoms are most likely due to inflammation. I do have a specialist but she just wants to pressure me to be on prescription which I don’t want but I do have my blood work checked.
