Hi everyone. Well today I 'phoned the appt dept. to see how much longer I'll have to wait to see a neurologist regarding my numb toes. Could be another 12 weeks wait. I'm guessing this is down to Vasculitis ! Plus noticing that the thumb on my left hand moves involuntary, seems like a nerve.

The twitchy thumb or other muscle is not unusal - lots of people with PMR have complained of it in the past. 12 weeks seems quite fair at present - neurologists (like everyone else) are a bit busy catching up and also probably with long Covid patients
