I have my life back

[Oxford8]

What a difference a week makes. This time last week I was in absolute agony and unable to move because of the pain from two inflamed bulging disks and a PMR flare.

I told my bowling club and my choir that I would be unable to take part again this season (or, in my mind, ever again).

Well! Thanks to my GP getting my Naproxen and pregabalin levels right I sang in rehearsal for three hours last night - mostly on my feet - and today I won two bowling matches. Lovely being out in the sunshine today. Oh, and I"ve got back down to 10mg pred instead of 20mg.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

I'm so pleased for you.

Last week I didn't know what to say to help you, this is wonderful news. Don't get carried away with the euphoria of recovery and reduce too quickly, take care.

Thanks Scats. I will be careful. I had such a scare.😮🌷

Thank you Mrs N. It's lovely to be able to share joys as well as sorrows on here. X🙂🌷

PS. I was at a choral concert at Church last Saturday and started to chat to someone who has PMR and who, it turns out, is also on here. You should have heard us.. natter, natter, natter! rabbiting on about PMRpro, Mrs. N, Dorset Lady, and so many of you on here on whom we rely for advice. Her lovely OH and my dear son just stood grinning at each other while we had our own Health Unlocked reunion!

[Hidden in reply to Oxford8]

I often see people with the pmr walk and pred look and think I wonder if they are on the forum. Never dared presume to ask.

[Jackoh]

So pleased for you! Wonderful news and good as you say to share our ups as well as the downs!! It can seem like a dark tunnel at times I feel. Good when you see the light and possibilities afresh xx

Wonderful news! I am off to see the Ortho Dr for steroids shots for bursitis. Hope to be posting a happy story soon also. When the pain goes our life returns.

Thank you - and good luck with your steroids shots. 🌷🌷

[Oxford8 in reply to Sailormo]

No. You're right. I give myself a day's

break between sessions, but it it's great to be back on the green. 👍👍🌷
