Hi Everyone,
I’m 20 weeks off pred and still on 3.5 weekly TCZ injections. I have noticed, after awakening from the relatively pain free world of prednisolone, that I am almost never without some sort of muscle soreness or mild stiffness. I do not have pain, thank heavens, but if you can remember that great feeling (pre PMR/GCA) the day after a physical workout: sore muscles and stiffness that reminded you that you had been physical, without pain, that is how I feel, except it doesn’t disappear in a couple of days. Any ideas about this? Is this the new me? Has my body deteriorated this much over the past few years, masked by pred? Do you think I could be feeling the dripping tap? I better add that, if I take ibuprofen, I feel relief.
