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.

      The end of a decade and a half of gaslighting, they must be exhausted. Oh boy, are we going to hear some coercive BS in the next 6 weeks. For some reason they don’t seem to be boasting about how well we are doing in education, crime and policing, fishing, agriculture, health, prisons, trade, trade agreements, immigration, transportation, utilities (including water), amongst other things. They seem to be focussing on exporting individual ‘illegal’ immigrants to Africa for more than it costs to take a journey into space. And rainbow-coloured lanyards for use within the civil service. I wonder why?🤔

      If you have a campervan (windows all round, seats in) they’re treated just like cars - come unannounced as often as you need. So I think it’s a way to avoid commercial interests’ abuse of the service. Imagine if you provided a local clearance service, you could empty peoples gardens and houses and take it straight to the dump and have nothing to pay.

      Gutted to miss out on the title in the end and fall down to fourth at the last! Thanks for running it - took me a while to get to grips with the format but came on strong in final few months. Look forward to next season!   JamesM

      If you can access Facebook, there are many groups on there for different things. it may be helpful searching for groups on there. i joined a few groups on there myself which helped me with my health issues. it was these groups that made me realise I wasn’t the only one suffering with side effects & some women were worse off than me. hope that helps
