QUICK TAPER; CRP RISING STEADILY; FLARING
As suspected, the very quick taper rheumy thought up (2.5 mg per week til I get to 10, then reducing 1 mg per month), has caused a flare and I'm in pre-PMR pain - almost). Currently at 12 mg but should be down to 9 by now, if I was to go with her guidelines. GP refuses to let me up the pred saying "it's

Confused
Still not diagnosed was initially put on naproxen but still pain persisted , both doctor and I then assumed I had polymyalgia so he tried me on predisnolone which seemed to calm my symptoms a little but after taking bloods for a second time my results came bk clear ! So now I'm being put on Duloxetine

Update to anyone interested
Hello, still in pain and still struggling to get a correct diagnosis. My long awaited referral with a specialist Rheumatologist in Oxford lead to yet more insistence that I have fibromyalgia. I don't have fatigue, brain fog, depression, any stomach disorders...just pain in the neck, girdles and legs

Advice please
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to this group and was worried about posting but I’m feeling so lost. I am waiting on a diagnostic laparoscopy for potential endo. Pelvic pain started around a year and a half ago. I have had an internal ultrasound which only showed a small intramural fibroid but I was told

Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

Tapering - have I overshot?
As per my bio. I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023 and started on 15mg of Pred. Have been tapering at 4 week intervals from 15 to 12.5, then to 10 then 9 and then 8. So far so good. However, about 5 weeks ago I strained my back quite badly. Two telephone consultations with GP. At first, he prescribed

When is the best time to take T3
Hi I collected my first prescription for T3 Liothyronine 20 mg today. All the instructions on the box tell me is to take one tablet a day. I read the instructions inside and they just say to take exactly as instructed by doctor or pharmacist. So does it matter when the tablet is taken or if it is

High Gamma GT results due to medication?
I recently had a health check via my insurance company and my Gamma GT levels came back high (105 U/L). I have a very balanced diet and excercise 3-4 times a week. I drink alcohol, but not everyday (a couple of drinks during the week and at the weekend perhaps 3-4 drinks) but I understand high levels

hi everyone I came across this group and joined in hopes I can find some solace with others who may be going through the same thing, if not similar. I broke my leg in 5 places a few years ago and I’ve never had a day pain free. The pain became widespread and has become worse as time has gone on. I
