Halo everyone, how are you doing ? Well thought I’d drop in an give you an update as you’ve all been so kind an supportive, my eyes are doing fine an have managed to reduce preds to 40 , so far so good ! As for preds , I love them my wrinkles have disappeared an I’ve a cleavage to die for 😁so mamas looking good,well I think so ,saw rheumatologist yesterday who wasn’t so happy as it appears I’ve had a bleed inside my knee which has swollen the leg an bruised the ankle .o joy !! If that wasn’t enough I was secretly eating Maltese’s as I came out of the rheumatologist today ,when my tooth came out ,wow a fun filled day then guys called an want me in fri for mri quick or what I only saw rheumatologist yesterday ,I wonder should I be worrying as it is quick ??

Usually it is more a case of they have a space and don't expect anyone else to use it - use it or lose it applies here too!

Hi monkey! Lovely to hear from you and don’t worry I’m sure it’s what PMRpro says. Let us know how you get on. I too lost my wrinkles! I look ten years younger. I felt lots of energy on high pred I remember that. Keep posting as it’s really good to follow your progress. Linda x

Very pleased you are making some progress. I can totally empathise with you on the tooth issue as I was eating a very delicious chocolate toffee the other day as consolation to myself for feeling so unwell when one of my veneers shot off across the room!

Looks like an expensive outing to the dentist for us both! Best wishes to you - Kathy
