A message for Lizzie...I'm seeing my GP this coming Monday & the Rheumatologist on Wednesday. The immediate dilemma I have to resolve is that the medication & PMR both present the same side effects/symptoms, making it virtually impossible to differentiate one from the other. In the short term, with the specialists knowledge & agreement, I plan to eventually stop all medication so that I can 'listen' to my body. At the moment I don't know whether it's the medication or the condition (or both!) that's making me feel so miserable. Thank you for your kind words, care & concern,
