Some Good News!
Posted , 11 users are following.
After a lot of drama with PMR & GCA the last 3 1/2 months, finally things have improved and all my tests were good with no permanent damage to my eyesight.
Started reducing prednisone 5mg a week is the plan--- until I get from 40 to 20. At 20 or before is symptoms start, I will have more tests. Feeling better already. My vision is clearing up and the swelling in my face has started to go down which was affecting my droppy eyelids and vision as well. Sleeping better and so far no pain or swelling has returned.
Just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their experiences along the way. It's helped me understand more and ask the doctors better questions. I know there is a way to go still, but it feels like the crisis is over at last.:-)

My other good news is I had my second cataract surgery yesterday and everything went well. It will be great to drive again when the blurriness clears.
I love this site - the info and support.
