So fed up !
Posted , 4 users are following.
I was so pleased to have reduced to 22.5mg last week then on Friday I got yet another infection in my right lung. Been on the antibiotics but today the doc says I`ve got to go back to 30mg. In fact whenever I have an exacerbation of my COPD (which is frequently) I`m going to have to double the dose I`m on. Feel as though I`m fighting a losing battle. Sorry to moan but I`m feeling a bit sorry for myself. Being awake all night with cramp. restless legs and an agonising cough don`t make for a happy bunny. :cry: Shebob

I have recently been in contact with the lady who runs the PMR-GCA Support East Anglia Group, and who recovered from PMR over a year ago she mentioned that she is fit and healthy, cycling again, and after coming off steroids all the weight just fell off. This is a real life story for us all to hang on to during our own personal 'journey', so just you hang on in, moan all you like, and give yourself a special treat of some sort!

Now I actually feel better for getting that off my chest so I hope the rest of you find this lovely warm sympathetic site as helpful as I do - it's the people, of course, who make it that way. It's a sunny day here, so I wish you all well, Green granny

I don't quite know what to suggest as regards the toenails - I would have had exactly the same problem, but I was already under the care of a chiropodist - I have found that I have to see her more often even though I can now see my feet again (this summer is the first time in several years, there IS light at the end of the tunnel even if when you get there you find it's just a hole in the roof).
Keep smiling - glad I gave you a laugh!

Have you got a local NHS Clinic who could get the shears to those toenails?! When I was bedbound/housebond for months with what I now know was PMR a few years ago, I got a horrible corn from my foot rubbing on the mattress trying to move my body somehow/anyhow! Got in touch with Social Services and they arranged for a chiropodist to call several times and once I was more up and about I attended the local NHS Clinic and it was all free treatment. I have now found a wonderful chiropodist at the local Old People's Day Centre and he only charges £10 which is less than a third of normal Chiropody charges in this area. Good luck but long gone are those day when I could touch my toes!!! :lol:
