Well i went to my dr and told him what happened at hospital yesterday he said he wont be sending me to see him again, as he was no help the dr has said he is absolutly sure i have pmr along with the ostio in my spine and hips he said i needed to go back on prednisolone 30mg daily to start with on a reducing scale , so back where i started really but at least my gp is great and i know when i start the preds tomorrow i will be able to move freely my gp said if it wasnt inflamation the preds wouldnt work and they do the only reason i came of them was because rhumie said i didnt need them they make me depressed but not being able to m,ove with stiffness and pain does to ,so its a bit of a double edged sword, i am going to rejoint slimming class as i put 2 stone on in the 8 monthsw i was taking the preds before so i need to try harder not to gain and to lose weight as i am overweight , thankyou for answering my posts the last couple of days i dont know what i would have done without your help and support xx jane

Glad you and your GP have a good understanding Jane, It really does help if you have a good relationship with your GP. And I hope the Prednisolone carries on helping you move about freely.

Hi again Jane,

I'm so pleased for you – this must be a huge weight off your mind. Not so good about prednisolone making you feel depressed, but at least you won't be in as much physical pain. And I hope slimming class goes well!

Best wishes,
Phoebe
