Dear Diane
I hope I got all the answers.
Q. How long ago was she diagnosed with PMR?
Did it come on suddenly or over time?
A. The dr. here in the UK has done some blood test result was high inflamtion. Her problem started with a frozen shoulder and only after 8months they operated on her.
She feels the pain mainly in her neck shouldes,hands and badly in her thumbs.Feel sometimes very stiff over her shoulders.
Q
What steroid is she on, exactly, and does the doctor intend for her to keep taking it indefinitely or is there an end date?
A. She started with 4x10 20mg for 1 month, 3x10 for 1 week, 10x2 2weeks 1x10 for a month and now 3x 1mg for1 week then 2x1mg 1 week, 1x1mg 1 week. After starting reducing it the symptons are coming back.
My mum lives a very healthy lifestyle will not eat any fatty or fast foods. She is rather under weight the over weight she walks allot when possible.She also is taking allot of supplements , she is really trying from her side do do what ever she could.
Hope this can give you a better insight of her problem.
