Yes, thank you and that’s exactly what I did. I went to the ER and I was so fortunate enough to get a very informed who Dr. admitted me and scheduled a temporal arteritis biopsy for me, which I am having tomorrow at 3 o’clock.
At the same time, they increase my prednisone from 10 mg to 40 mg to protect my vision. I was at the ophthalmologist three days ago. All vision is perfect. So grateful that I decided to come here.
They will keep me on the 40 mg of prednisone no matter what the results of the biopsy are and I have my first appointment with my rheumatologist March 3.
I was just diagnosed with PMR on February 3.
One of the reasons I came it was it would take at weeks to see a doctor, so I figured this was my best shot.
Thank you for reaching out to me as I lay here in this hospital bed it is very very comforting to hear from my PMR family.
I will keep you posted
🙏❤️
