Good rheumies around Norwich UK

[PMRpro]

Can anyone recommend a good PMR rheumy in or in easy reach of Norwich? Obviously the N&N is the first choice - but who is good there?

I see Dr Muktyar at the N&N. He treated me for PMR 7 years ago and currently for large vessel Vasculitis. I know several other people who with myself would recommend his care and of that rheumatology department.

Everyone's experience is different, but after being treated for pmr & gca for over two years I requested to be transferred from N&N to James Paget hospital Gorleston.

I now see Dr McKuni, who I believe was trained by Prof Dasgupta whom I have seen privately at Southend hospital.

If you have GCA I recommend Muhktar. He does research into GCA and is certainly up to date with latest thinking. I can't comment about PMR as there were no signs until very recently.

Also wanted to ask if you are in the Norwich area now?

Not me - someone on the patient.info PMRGCA forum and she says she is closer to James Paget. Not sure what that means re geography - long way from me!

She's posting in this thread patient.info/forums/discuss... if you want to join us

Hi, I have been seeing Dr Merry, N & N for last 6 years for GCA. I have had excellent support from him and the rest of the team. When I have flare-ups ( there have been many ) I phone the helpline and always get the help / advice I need.

Hope this helps
