I wrote a silly ditty for someone on her quite a while back. Am posting it here now so I can delete from my iPad as iCloud alarmingly getting full and I don't want to pay 70pence - I know - I am that old miser. I am currently on 6 and 5.5 alternate. Slight delay to latest reduction as I fell hard on pavement, still recovering! Just signed up,for unlimited Pilates and, dare I say it, my sleep quality is improving! Have amitryptiline but use sparing,t and prefer natural sleep aid. I do feel I've turned a corner! Hope it isn't too early.
Wake up to another day and
Yes, I'm stiff, and yes there's pain!
Record how sore from 1-10 -
Steel myself to rise again.
Eat my brekkie, take my pred
Tear myself away from bed
Check the iPad - health unlocked
Latest entries - all been clocked
Feeling lucky; loads more worse
This bum disease is such a curse
No more groaning, on with the day
It's PMR not GCA.
Fuzzy eyesight
Hair around lip
Excruciating rods in hip
noise in ear
lump on neck
Funny tummy
What the heck?
Sweats and mood swings
Lack of sleep
Constant resting
Muscles tweak
Turmeric tablets
Omega three
Alendronic acid
Vitamin C
Magnesium, iron
Vitamin D
All washed down with vitamin B
Carbs reduced
And Sugar cut
Why's my face
Bigger than my butt?
Lack of focus
Hard to think
No it isn't down to drink!
I've PMR so I abstain
Steroids forced me to refrain
I'm getting there -
But this road is slow
I'll do what I can to help it go
And one day it will!
Maybe................
Please remove if too frivolous! Won't be offended!

I love it and have all the symptoms. I haven’t the faintest about I-cloud but get sent grandchildren photos every week and I’ve been storing them in there. Should I expect to be fined?. 😳
No, you get a certain capacity free, but if you get near to filling that, they usually ask if you want to purchase more!
I’ve got a lot on mine, but photos do use more space than documents.
You can always store stuff that you don’t use every day - like photos or info on a USB stick - available from a well known online store - prices vary depending on how much you want to store on it!
Hi dewdrop 456, I think some dentists are more reluctant than others to carry out dental work and some report having increased their pred dose. I think it can also depend on what other meds you take. For example if you take alendronic acid or similar it's recommended you have dental work prior to starting it. I am linking you to a previous discussion so you get more ideas if how people have approached dental work. I have only had fillings since pred. If you scroll down to the bottom of the linked message, there should be more related discussions that have popped up. I think the main thing is that you discuss meds and treatment with the dentist. I hope this helps.
Thanks Poopadoop,my Dentist didn’t seem to have been asked about this before although she is a very experienced dentist.I am not on Alendronic acid as I’ve refused to take it. I am down to 5 and a half to 5 mgs at the moment but think 6 is really my dose.Thank you for the information,I will study it .
I didn't before having a wisdom tooth out. I didn't before having root canal treatment and maybe I should have - it was a long and somewhat arduous process!!!! But I survived fine.
Poor you.I actually had a training dentist work on a root canal years ago to the very tooth that probably now needs to be removed.It too took ages as he kept having to ask for help.It was on the NHS and cost £40 as opposed to £350 by the experienced private dentist!
As I am on 5 to 5 and a half mgs I think that I might be alright not to increase.
I was hoping to catch you to ask for advice about an extra diagnosis which has unluckily come my way .I will start a new thread.Thank youPMR pro.
My dentist is very good - I wouldn't have stayed with him given the price otherwise! I always liked the Dental School aspect of having it checked. I had a horrendous experience with a "private" dentist and the root canal was probably a result of his inefficiencies!
I will be singing this like Poops to Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 all night now , but it has given me a smile so thanks for giving us a little gift to cheer us from your very creative soul😘
