It never rains etc etc.


I've just been put on steroids for what is almost certainly polymyalgia (If they get rid of the pain, it is), and I'm wondering if anybody has any experience of this they would be happy to share with me, either on here or via PM?


I've done a lot of googling and I'm quite concerned about the potential side effects of the steroids :( however I couldn't continue as I was as the pain was preventing me doing things, so steroids were basically the lesser of two evils :(

Ouch sorry to hear it. My mum has suffered with it. The good thing is, once it got under under control the steroids were phased out. Occasionally, flare ups happen and meds are needed again. It?s like all things, it needs treatment and the treatment has effects, but those effects beat being in agony.

      Latest One Dulwich update

      We are actually referred to as "Supporters"...2,100 of us across Dulwich...read and weep! 😉   https://www.onedulwich.uk/supporters   Got it, the one where 64% of respondents in the consultation area said they wanted the measures "returned to their original state". Is that the one you claim had a yes/no response question?   Well I suggest you read up on it as it is an important part of the story of utter mismangement by the councils and this is why so many of us can't work out who is pulling the council's strings on this one because surely you can agree that if the emergency services were knocking on your door for months and months telling you the blocks in the roads were delayihg response times and putting lives at risk you'd do something about it? Pretty negligent not to do so don't you think - if I was a councillor it would not sit well with me?   Careful it could be a Mrs, Miss or Mx One.....   Of course you don't that's because you have strong opinions but hate being asked for detail to.back-up those opinions (especially when it doesn't serve their narrative) and exposes the flaws in your arguments! 😉  As so many of the pro-LTN lobby find to their cost the devil is always in the detail.....
