A friend brought over all kinds of scraps and pieces of fabric as she was reorganizing her quilting stash. As I had used up all my scraps last winter, I was happy to be gifted these. Many quilting projects in my future.
Despite a week of considerable pain, my hands kept busy crocheting. And I planned out my next quilt top.
I’ve been working on this little blanket for a couple of months. Have to keep the hands busy
I just started talking 20mg #Prednisone 3x daily = 60mg. How soon will side effects appear? #weightgain How much weight did you gain & was it suddenly? I am having biopsy to diagnose #TemporalArteritis on Monday and there’s also possibility of #PMR Any information would be greatly appreciated ❤️

Slowly adding squares to my flower garden afghan
The fatigue came along first and hit me like I'd just ran into a brick wall.... then came the strange ache which turned into pain. My GP prescribed prednisolone at 35mg per day ( apparently that is how they diagnose fibromyalgia if you go into remission with prednisolone then you definitely have polymyalgia rheumatica. My GP went away on holiday and I needed a new prescription my GP's surgery would not give me a repeat until I had been seen by the GP who originally diagnosed me with #PMR however, he was away on holiday and wouldn't be back for 3 weeks. So I had to stop the medication then?
