You can take paracetamol with Pred, so dose yourself with that, and plenty of liquids - and have a restful day.

Are you worried that the headache was more related to the cold virus than GCA?

[vicky561 in reply to SheffieldJane]

No ... My Daughter had the cold first

Daughters!! Mine bring home the dreaded lurgy too!

Fluids , Vitamins , ginger and garlic , honey ( supplements or fresh in food or smoothies ) great antivirals for colds. Usual painkillers for a virus , lots of rest , really lots , and hope you get through it quickly xxx

Going through exactly the same yogabonnie. Was expecting to be off Pred by end of January , then one night PMR struck again . As you say , there is no mistaking it second time around . But do be careful !!! I went to 5mg , felt amazing , rested for a day , then overdid it . I did this not once, but twice . I am now on 10mg and still not feeling without pain in neck area , lower back and temple . Doctor wants me down again . I have been back on here for 2 , 3 weeks again reading everything I can . I have decided to follow advice on here and hopefully I can get myself in a less painful state again . Just do be careful in those yoga tights . Small steps at a time , not silly Like me .

Is this where you meant to post this reply? yogabonnie hasn't posted in this 3 year old thread!

If you are SURE you posted it in YB's thread with her picture at the start - do report it to HU because that could be a bug they need to look at!

[Flutterbies57 in reply to PMRpro]

No it isn’t where I intended it to go . I am not real familiar with the site yet but don’t know how I managed that . I was reading her post with photo. Is it possible to move it . I will have a go. Thanks

Copy and paste the test to where it should be - but if you were reading the right post, something very strange must have happened and I suspect is a random bug, I'm sure it has happened a few times.

And if you want to you can delete this one, though it really doesn't matter ...
