Thanks Grammy for your fast reply! My blood inflammation markers are
normal and initially elevated but still very very low. I have all the
other symptoms, neck, right shoulder very painful (also could be a tear as
well in shoulder), headaches now since lowering my pred from 20-15. DR us
checking blood every two months. I’m hoping once she’s back she’ll be more
attentive. I did have a very long zoom call with her last appointment. I
know you can have PMR with normal inflammatory levels and I don’t know
where I’d be without the prednisone. I couldn’t move my arm and I hurt so
much it was debilitating. So once I started treatment I am much better
until this last taper. I know it’s a process. I’m 70 live here I. The
states in the Pacific Northwest “Oregon”. have a great job as an
advertising consultant in the world if Nursing Recruitment- my focus is on
Nursing Schools to promote their Online Nursing Education I work less than
part time and live it. I live alone with my Mini Golden Doodle however I
have a Don and his family nearby with 2 grandkids.
I know thisPMR is the result if my last Covid booster- and it will be my
last for sure! Ha ha. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and
thoughts! It means a lot. I love wAtercolirs! I started with acrylics
years ago when I had time to make for it. There is so much out there
online to learn from and free! I have tons of watercolor books and that
had worked very well for me better thAn any class although I like the
camaraderie of a shared experience ! I know this was long but wanted to
give you my bio! I guess I need to put it out on this site too! Be well
keep painting! Deb
