PMRpro, SnazzyD and DorsetLady. I had a Blood test done Tuesday, and an appointment to see the Rheumatologist Wednesday afternoon. She said blood test showed no raised inflammation. I pointed out that I had been on Pred for 6 years, and only down to 5.5mg. She arranged an urgent appointment to see the Ophthalmologist Thursday morning. After a long series of tests, he said that everything looked fine, and would send his results to the Rheumatologist, which he did while I was sitting there. He added that I would get a telephone call, STILL WAITING. The temple pain and headache is less than it was, but still there. A strip of Pred is always at hand, just in case. Trevor.

Not impressive is it!!!
It is frightening how little some doctors know about the reaction of drugs.
Not great is it? At least a thorough look at the eyes hasn’t thrown anything up that’s obviously bad. If it is GCA affecting elsewhere, time will tell. It’s not a good feeling having to push and feel you have to fight a corner is it?
Not what you're looking for?
