Well today I went to the doc's for a review on the Prednisolone. I have had a month of 20mg and he has now dropped it to 15mg. I asked what it would be next month and he said hopefully down to 10mg. He then followed by saying lets see how the 15mg goes though as we might have to go slower. (phewww) So not got to hassle him thank goodness. Also had my hb1ac results for my diabetes and it's down to 6.6 so the Pred is not doing to bad with the diabetes even though my blood sugars are all over the place. I have to go back in 2 weeks for a blood test to see if my C-reactive protein is dropping as it is 24 at present and has been as high as 29. So fingers crossed.
I asked if I would possibly be eligible for a blue badge but he said he doubted it cos PMR is treatable and that they are very strict now on who can get a blue badge. So I won't bother trying.
I am having palpatations but he did not think it was the pred causing them though my headaches maybe a different matter.
And that was about it really, just got to accept it he said so I will and get on with it. Though I have to say I DON'T LIKE IT.
