2 1/2 weeks ago in hospital for 2 days while doctors tried to work out if it was CGA. I myself believe it is. They put me on 90mg for those 2 days to cover the eyesight anyway. I had a scan which is what the doctors were basing their decisions on. On discharge 2 doctors were saying no one doctor said yes and I say yes. I had blood tests again on Wednesday. ESR 54 (76 in hospital) CRP 6. I am still very tender to the touch around temperal area and vision quite blurry as the day goes on. Currently on 11mg prednisolone for 5 or 6 weeks now.
Any thoughts on what I should be doing. Up until now I have had a lot of faith in my gp but currently not so sure.
Hi, Your ESR is still high, but as we know that could be attributed to other things.
I think you need to stay on 11mg for a few days and see how things pan out - obviously around the scar will be tender but paracetamol may help that - always worth a try.
The main concern for me is the blurriness, but having never had a TAB not sure whether it may be that, however if that continues then you need to seek advice - not easy with Christmas around the corner, I appreciate. Do you have enough Pred, and your GP’s approval to increase if you need to. If you are still worried over the holidays then don’t hesitate to go to ER.
Good luck.
