Hi ava97 ,

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so unwell at the moment. Have you spoken with your doctor? Have they given you any advice/treatment?

I hope that you start to feel better soon. Make sure you get plenty of rest, stay well hydrated and eat healthily. If your symptoms get worse then go back to your doctor.

Could you get a referral to a different doctor for a second opinion?

[ava97]

in our area there is no rheumatologist.😖😫.maybe its normal in first world country to find doctor.but in iur country there is not available doctor in this section.also there is maybe 10doctors professor in this section,whom we cannot be able to fix any appointment.cause they go outside for their conferenece and phd.still trying to find a good professor😖😖.even my family thinks its ok and I m ok.I should listen my doctor word.as I m young at age they think that its allright.but I need to be sure if its ok to stop steriods??and if I m feeling unwell should I increase doses?

Hi ava97 ,

As I am not medically qualified I cannot advise you about your treatment. If you are unsure about your doctor's opinion, could you maybe discuss it with a specialist nurse or your pharmacist?

[ava97]

ok I will try my best.
