I am going to ask doc for a referral to pmr Pro for six months in summer I can bring my camper van. 😜

[venezia1]

Great idea - I love Italy as Well!

[Rocketronzy in reply to venezia1]

Let's get a bus up. Eh. 😜😂😂

[SheffieldJane]

She suffers too Ronzy, unlike us she doesn't go on about it. But I understand where you are coming from. 🤝

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to SheffieldJane]

But I don't have to suffer idiot medics!

[CT-5012 in reply to PMRpro]

My cat used to sit and laugh whenI mentioned idiot medics 😹 I have never met an idiot vet , is that because their patients bite? 😂

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to CT-5012]

Could well be. Wonder what would happen if we tried?

[CT-5012 in reply to PMRpro]

Don't give us ideas 😂

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to CT-5012]

Would I ever?

[CT-5012 in reply to PMRpro]

Ummm🤣

[Rokerman in reply to PMRpro]

Yes......😉

[AussiePolyDee in reply to CT-5012]

HaHa! And probably because they actually look at their patients as a 'whole' and 'listen' to them ...

[Gaijin]

I'm tempted to go back to PMRpro for my pmr management ...she was guiding me for a few months when I didn't have a GP or a rheumi😎. Doctors need to realize that the internet made medical practice another. ballgame altogether.

[Rocketronzy in reply to Gaijin]

I think they do. And don't like in. 🤔😱😉😤

[Hono in reply to Rocketronzy]

My Internist told me to stay off the internet!

[Sandy1947 in reply to Hono]

So does my Rheumotologist. She said the forum is only for people who struggle with PMR. Her implication is that PMR is generally a walk in the park and I’m making a big deal about slowly tapering, counting spoons and all the rest. I’m so happy I dance to my own tune despite being a major people pleaser!

[Rocketronzy in reply to Sandy1947]

Good on you we need to face up to Doctors. They don’t no everything there not gods

And know one knows you’re body like you.

We live it for gods sake 😤

Old Doctors have got used to there patients

Bean nyeave knowing v little.

Yes Doctor no Doctor etc.........

all the best 🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹

[Sandy1947]

I agree, we should have a PMR/GCA conference first at PMR pro's house then the following year at Dorset Lady's.

Anyone agree?

[Rocketronzy in reply to Sandy1947]

👍👍👍😂😂

[Insight329]

Maybe not at their homes as that might make additional work for them. I'm sure we could find a wonderful restaurant in which we could lavish them with food and drink. (Uncle Mark could be the evening's entertainment.). I'd also like to have PMRPro (or Dorset Lady) as my official rheumy; heck, they are already my unoffical ones.

[Hollyseden]

Loving these suggestions

[AussiePolyDee]

HaHaHaHa!! Great Idea! I already quote PMRpro to my GP! He actually listens when I give him any references PMRpro has posted! Let me know when to fly over to join your 'caravan' on the way to Italy......
