Seasons Greetings. | Arthritis Information

Dear All

I wish you two things

No 1 May Your PMR take a long walk off a short pier in 2010 or maybe just take a hike.

No 2 May your sense of humour prevail during trying times.

Best Wishes and I leave you with this:

“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”

Thanks a lot for the seasonal Greeting. A very Merry Chrismas to you too

Just back from Singapour, where I had many test. It was dicided that I did not have polymyalgia as my sedimentation was too low 16. The Rheum. thinks I have Chronic fatigue syndrom. It feels like the same symptoms except that you cannot get giant cell artitis. Off the steroids and taking very small dose of antidepressant and pain killer. Not feeling that much better but I have the odd day when I do.

Did anybody has had the sme experience with theis diagnostic?

Thanks for the support

Hi!

Seems that you are very up to date with what is going on with PMR. Was told in France and in Singapour that it is not a rhumatologist that I should see but an imunologist, somebody who is far more up to date with with deseases which attack the immune system. I am going to see one in July when I go on leave to France. Have you had any feed back about this? Everybody on this frorum talk about rhumu and not imunologist.

By the way it seems that I do not have PMR but CFS Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Same symptoms but I do not have high sedementation. Coping pretty well with pain killer and very mild anti depresssant.
