Update....wow !!

[nellysgran]

Hi everyone hope you are all painfree,

No I am not going to moan today !!

Just thought I would update you all as I could not put up with all the pain I have been having over the last few weeks so I bit the bullet and got an emergency appointment yesterday with my GP.

I was given a prescription for Prednisolone and Tramadol......wow what a difference, I took the first steroid tablets this morning and now after only a few hours I can actually get out of the chair and walk almost normally again, I feel like someone new or back to my (near) normal self.

I cant believe that this has happened so quick or why I wasn't offered this by my rheumy the last time I saw her in so much pain, Me not my Consultant !!

Anyway I hope this is going to last,

Thanks everyone for listening to all my moaning over the last few weeks.

Hugs Wendy xx

[jeanabelle]

Great news. I did the same as you.......went to my doc and told him I wasn't getting the pain relief I needed......I didn't ask, I told. I now have 300mg of TRAMADOL a day for pain! Keeps me going until the diaboligials start to work. Good on ya! X

[pennylane]

So glad you have something to give you some relief. Hope you have a lovely pain free weekend! xx

Hi

The steroids are like a miracle fix for me too. Last year I was attending my niece's wedding oin Gretna Green and wondered I would cope with the journey and the weekend and I went to the Doctor's and was prescribed 8 presnisdalone a day for 5 days and I had a wonderfu. weekend and was the last one dancing at home time.
