Holiday Update
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi Everyone 8) 8) . Four weeks into our holiday and as the Spanish dongle thingy is working I thought I would give you a quick update. We drove 1,567 miles over four days (I was dreading it) but I felt so well all the way. I was full of energy when I arrived and have felt great the whole time since. It’s very, very hot and that hasn’t affected me the way it did last year. I can swim, walk, eat and drink (!) :donut: :redwine: and all this whilst still reducing the Prednisolone. What has happened? I’m not complaining but it’s as though someone just flicked a switch a couple of weeks before we left home. I wake up every morning expecting to feel rough but it hasn’t happened (yet?). It doesn’t sound as though it’s been a great summer in the UK but if it’s any consolation we had the mother of all storms last night and it’s cloudy today. We’ve two more weeks and then have to repeat the 1,500 miles but in one less day, so we’ll see how that goes. My only problem? I’ve put on a considerable amount of weight! When I started on 15mgs my appetite just vanished, as I go down (now on 7mgs) I get more and more hungry, I’m sure that’s the wrong way round!! My very best wishes to everyone and hope you’re all having a good weekend. Lizzie Ellen

Enjoy the 'flick of a switch'.
Don't want to get your hopes up - but this is how a pmr patient who went into remission for a very longtime described the disappearance. Got everything crossed for you.

Fantastic news - your GP must have had a crystal ball when she told you she thought you'd make a fast recovery. Have a great rest of holiday. 8)

My first bout of PMR went very much like that withing a year I was on 1mg and stayed on that for a further year as a precaution
I am now on 6mg and feeling OK This is the first time today I have felt cold This last week has been mixed but overall it is the best summer for years and still no rain !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope the journey home goes as well
