Positively positive

Two things that lifted my spirits today. First I feel like me, and touch wood my second gentle taper is going OK. But the really great thing was a visit to the dentist. New dentist, she asked me what was happening healthwise. She had already read my notes and knew about the meds etc. She then said 'oh yes I've heard of this, we were taught about it in training'. How good is that!?

So pleased especially with the dentist. It's good to know the awareness is spreading, and how lucky am I to have that dentist !

You lucky stick!

Although my dentist seems to know more and care more about my symptoms than my GPs , funny isn't it.

Glad to here you feeling more yourself again but remember don't try and take things too quickly.

You deserve some time to relax

WOW! I am so happy you "feel like you!" I LOVE those days... and yes, as I reduce they happen more and more!!!!! GOOD ON YOU!!!! And YES, that is fabulous that your dentist knew what you were talking about! Progress!

Yes my dentist knew all about GCA which was such a relief and he has been marvellous and very understanding.
