Oh heck!

Well following the hiatus caused by a bout of cellulitis last October, I was tapering again nicely and doing ok. Now I’ve started to gave slight twinges of pain in my temples and behind my ears. Of course my bloods are in the normal range. Rheumy says not to panic yet. He is organising a scan for me.

It comes and goes. Some days I’m absolutely fine.

Don’t think this disease is done with me yet though! 😏

Yep! I’m hoping it’s just tension. It’s odd though.

Yes, I get the occasional twinge just as you describe, but it never develops beyond that and, like you, my bloods are normal. It's like a little reminder that something could flare up so I mustn't become complacent.

Mm I’ve been they’re but panicking upted the prednisone on my own bat.

Stemming the simptoms then never got the proper treatment.

I think sometimes it doesn’t help knowing all the simtums as we can exaggerate them 😢

Going on a bit again sos.

Thanks! That’s so true. I’ve read all the symptoms and it’s as if I’m waiting for it to happen.

My Rheumy is good, his office rang me on Friday to see how I was feeling.

Just have to wait for the scan or whatever and try to relax. Obviously, if things suddenly get worse, I’ll be off to A&E.

Yeah, I seem to be lucky. I have a friend who has RA and sees the same guy, she really likes him too.

Wishing you Luck 🍀 hope it settles & Rheumy seems to have it in hand.

Best Wishes x
