Pleased with myself.

Only you will understand why.

Today (I am still coughing on and off) I have vacuumed downstairs and mopped.

I have booked a guest house for May.

I made l lunch (normal) and am currently making dinner.

I've done a very small dust of obvious dusty areas.

I still have spoons, have been stopping in between to recover before carrying on.

I have plans to do more tomorrow.

Mythical 9mg is good for me so far.

Sounds good :) long may it last.

I’m going to whisper this to you IdasMum because I don’t want my PMR to hear it ;) I’m on day 9 of 9mg. Last week I was feeling decidedly ropey, but yesterday and today have been good. I played indoor bowls this afternoon and I felt as if I might actually be in control of my muscles. Plus the awful fatigue of last week is waning. Now to control myself so I don’t do anything daft!

Spoon power!!! ;)

Good stuff! Let’s hope you can slink past 7 mgs too.

I hope so, one day. I am holding at 9mg for now. Have a trip to UK coming up in May and I am determined to be WELL. Will continue tapering once we're back home :)

The magic nine. There continues to be snippets of hope bouncing around the group. Even those not there yet can take comfort from the success of others and look forward to a time when we will reach that point. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you and Soraya too. Don’t overdo it tho. Try to stop before you realise you have done too much. Hard to do I know. A crystal ball would be handy xx💐

Thank You IdasMum! I just started 9mg today and your post really helps me with the "Mythical 9". I have to admit I was concerned. Thank you again.
