Polymyalgia

[Claremont2023]

I am finding this a difficult condition to accept, especially now as stiffness seems to be taking over from pain since my doses of Prednisolone have been reduced. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have another illness but similar , I take hydrocortisone instead of prednisone but I guess it's a similar medication. My previous doctor reduced my meds but I am experimenting on going back to my increased meds like before because of physical pain... GPs and NHS don't care about me changing my meds on my own and they push me away even kicking me out their practice because I am a burden and so I got no one to help me with my steriod doses. Have you got a good nurse or doctor to help with your dosage of prednisone Claremont2023 ?

My GP is really good & I’m seeing her next week. The hospital consultant not so good. He wants me off steroids asap so dropped my dose. This week has been bad for return of some symptoms because of that but will stick it out till I see GP.
