Hi Meg how are you hun?
Yes well my 'PMR' can be very harrowing at times but I have learned to live with it as you have to of course.
In Winter it can be very distressing to me but Brissie is having glorious Winter weather at the moment. This means warmer than usual conditions which I don't mind so much at this time of the year, :) Summer however is a different story!
My chemist also told me about that probiotic stuff too. The next time I see the specialist (July) I think i will have a chat to him about it too. Although most times you feel like you are in a grinding mill with him and that he just wants your money more than anything. Still he has tried a different range of things in the past that have not worked. I did get a second opinion when I was first diagnosed with the 'PMR' And they concluded the very same disorder.
Any way I hope things are progressing for you with your treatment hun. I went to the '2014 FOW' in Melbourne with my three kids which was great. i had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and we even stayed on for the footy match. So exciting being there. They were taking official photos on the night and they managed to get three of me. One on my own holding up my sign 'Thanks For Making Me A Fighter!' and another two with the kids walking in and on the field together. I felt so empowered being there. Although it was the very first time I had no breaky in bed at home with hubby and the kids spoiling me for Mother's Day!. Still the kids and I had a lovely breaky at the 'Pancake Parlour' in Melbourne city. If you have not been to this event you really should go at least once in your life Meg :)
Take care huny and good luck with your journey XXXMiaXXX
