Hey everyone
Hope you are keeping ok? I have a question? I hope you don't mind
I think I am coming to the end of a flare and this one seems to be dragging on. It started just before easter with a bit of a rash starting so with it being easter I thought I would phone my GP and get some steroids to kick it on the head! Got rid of the rash but as the steroids ended I started with hot flashes, and which progress to joint / muscle pain to the point I felt like I had been beaten with a meat tenderiser
(does anyone else feel like this???)!! I've also been having sore throats not to the point of wanting to suck the life out of a box of strepsils but enought to know it is there. I have also had sores in the corner of my mouth and then a coldsore on my lower lip.
Then about 4 weeks ago I felt like I was having a dizzy attack but as on tabs for that I thought I would get away with it... How wrong was I... three weeks ago it hit me. I doubled up the drugs and waited and it didn't fix it. So monday I went to the doctor and she has added in some more dizzy meds. She is stumped as my MRI was normal, so I now have to wait for these drugs to kick in . In the meantime I am having to work from home cos I don't feel safe enough to drive. I feel guilty I am letting my boss down but they are usually pretty good because they know I don't kick the backside out of it!
How long do these things go on for and is it normal for them to get worse each time????
