    Hi Cheryl,

    I've said this before, and I'm going to repeat it - you are sick!!! You are in the very early days in the life cycle of PMR..... stop trying to second guess everything. Take the pred, don't worry too much about it. Rest, don't try and do things like you used to - you are sick! Give yourself some time to get better. And by time, I mean months, not days.

    I know I sound harsh, but that is the fact of the matter.

    Thinking of you, and sympathising - we've all been there!
