Chronic fatigue/pain

Thankyou all for your very informative, supportive messages and links.

I have contacted GP who was initially going to increase dose of Pred before then tapering more slowly. Then decided bloods needed beforehand so I’ve had bloods taken today, speaking to GP Monday.

I cannot fault the response and action taken but only hope that a forward plan is forthcoming Monday.

Is a bit disconcerting that I never get to speak/see same GP and haven’t spoken to anyone in practice that seems very interested in PMR.

phone call from GP this morning, bloods within normal range. Could be chronic fatigue syndrome, could be anything really, but necessarily PMR!!! Wait it out another week when yet another GP will give me an opinion!!!

Not very satisfactory - as PMRpro they do lag behind symptoms...which should be the dominant factor...

Trouble is, sometimes they lag behind - hope yours haven't!
