Hello all.

I've been having stiff shoulders, top of arms especially first thing and at night. Also a little bit top of back of thighs, now today stiff neck. Esr has stayed at 25 since December. Symptoms really since then but been ignoring them! GP said having symptoms wouldn't prolong the problem and to stay on same dose. I'm not sure she's right. Need your advice please.

Currently on 2.5mg every other day. I did increase slightly in December. It's the first time since my reductions that I have definite symptoms. I can bear the discomfort and really don't want to increase especially as daughters wedding in June so don't want to put on weight! But will do as I'm told!

! Thanks, Beev

Hi Beeb. I'm not sure about one of those people but the one on 5 mg, once down to that dose it's taken since October to lose a stone in weight.
I am on .10 and have just cut back on carbs and have already lost 5lb in .12 days.
