after 7.5 years ( 72 years) on various dosis of prednisolone for PMR, I was fortunate enough to meet a rheumatologist ( second opinion) who told me “I now do not have PMR (???what !!!) “ .She stopped the prednisolone and gave me hydrocortison “ to wake up my adrenal glands” to build off over several months, is the plan.
because I fully trust her , I accept her diagnoses , and treatment plan and for the first time in 7.5 years I now don t have PMR.
Call it identity crisis. All that time PMR lived me, not any more.
i am now 3 weeks on 20 mg hydrocortison and honestly: so far so good.
Yes, early days I tell myself too.
I try to find “ posts” regarding hydrocortison of others and am unable to trace them on our forum/ or on frequently asked questions.
Can anybody tell me where I can find those posts and/ or respond to my post, thanks.
