Chesty
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have had PMR for 18 months, on the whole I do quite well. From 40mg predesolone per day I am now at 8.5 mg per day. Apart from year usual side affects ....curly hair growing wild to nails growing stronger and of course tiredness,hot flushes and poor sleep on occasions......and a few others I now feel very chesty on occasions. Does any one else get this?

If you are persistently "chesty", and even more so if you have "chest infections" that don't respond well to antibiotics, then you should pursue it with your doctor as there are other forms of vasculitis which can mimic PMR in the early stages and then later progress to their true character. A couple can involve the lungs so it is something that shouldn't be ignored. It probably isn't anything of the sort, they are very rare, but "very rare" doesn't mean never.

thinks I'm nuts and my hairdresser doesn't understand why I'm at her
shop getting a haircut every thee weeks or so. I'm glad that someone
finally mentioned about hair and nails growing faster.
