Having major flare here ...

[BiteyDelano]

I'll start from the bottom up -

Feet & toes - excruciating

Outside of knees

Front of thighs

Hands and fingers

Jaw (although now seems to have eased)

and probably every other joint etc

Oh and headache

I think that just about covers it

I've decided to increase from 5.5mg Pred to 10mg for five days and see what happens.

I'm just venting and am fortunate to have a sympathetic wife but only fellow sufferers can truly relate.

Have a good day!

[PMRpro Ambassador]

I'm a bit concerned at your mention of jaw pain and headache. Do please ask for medical advice because they are more typical of GCA than PMR. And it can happen anytime,

[jinasc]

Please take the advice that PMRpro has given. Never ever take any chances with suspect GCA, your sight is at stake.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer]

Ditto to both replies……jaw and headaches do need to be checked regarding GCA…..and today preferably as the weekend is looming.

Please let us know any developments.
