Big day today, I finally got to see the senior GP. Armed with my helpful list (a mile long) of all symptoms over the past few years,..highlighting the fibro connection. I was about to say, 'How about a Rheumatology referral', but he preempted me. 'Blood test NOW, for vit D. ANA, iron levels and a whole lot more (they took 4 vials from me!). No, he couldn't refer me because 'they would expect all these tests to be ruled out and no stone left unturned before they would look at you'...which I had to accept. He prescribed steroids 20mg 4 times a day for a week then stop. See again in 10 days for blood results. He then said, 'any pain in your arms and legs?' (may the Saints preserve us) ...and proceeded to grab my limbs in a vice-like handful. He didn't know how close he came to being thumped (if I'd had the energy and power). However, he saw the way I was walking, asked all about mobility...and sent me for an assessment for a parking permit, for which I am truly grateful...even if by some miracle I only needed it for a while. Finally, he said the previous likely diagnosis of Polymyalgia Rheumatica he agreed with, so felt a little disappointed that he didn't agree with ME despite absolutley not wanting to hear a positive FM reply. So, I guess, like a you, it is like he says, 'A work in progress'. Bad as I felt, couldn't help wishing him a stressfree and pleasant W/E ahead...he looked soooooo tired, and I was his first patient of the day!
Will keep you posted, but for now must get those pills sorted.
God bless you one and all
