Dexa scan

Well, that was refreshing. I have just had a repeat dexa scan, and the radiographer took the time to question me about PMR and PsA. When I told her I had managed to reduce to 5mgs of pred, she said' Slowly, slowly now then, at that level don't reduce by more than 1/2 mg ' I was amazed she had more understanding about slow tapering than the average GP! A very kind professional.

Good to hear… perhaps she knows someone other than you with it!

It was lovely to get understanding, not blank looks !

I have always found the staff at the Dexascan really friendly and knowledgable.
