Well this is strange I seem to have run out of prednisolone and it's over 24 hours since I have taken any how could I have missed the fact that there is no more in my medicine box, oops. It clears your system in about 12 to 16 hours or so I have been told, this must be the first time in years I actually have no immunosuppresents in my system weird feeling.
I have been slightly panicking for the last few weeks. I have been experiencing an ache type pain in my left calf that came on after sitting but eased off and disappeared when walking, sleeping, etc. I know the circulation in my legs isn't wonderful. Nasty varicose veins (inherited from my mother. Thanks mum), occasional capillary blood spots, spider veins and so on. So I convinced myself I had a DVT. I persuaded the receptionist to give me a same day appointment today and saw a junior doctor. She was really thorough. Asked tons of questions, examined both legs, measure them and spent a lot of time with me. Pulse rate was high at 90 but I was nervous, SATS 98%, so good. She said she is of the opinion it isn't a DVT but went along the corridor to speak to a "proper doctor" who said he isn't concerned and suggested it is nerve root pain. Believe it or not, he said it could be from a large thick scar I have following a road accident in 1964!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently these things happen, even after 54 years.
Big relief.
You did right to get it checked, glad it was from an old war wound (!) rather than something new and untoward. Feet up with a glass of vino this evening methinks.
Evening all
We are taking advantage of the forecast good weather and going away in the motorhome tomorrow for the weekend. So play nicely while I'm away
