[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 61389, member: 393"] Marg, Myathenus gravis has not yet been ruled out - the doctor's feel that the arteritis is a go because of the damage & drooping to the right side of my face & my eye. I cannot keep my right eye open very long when I'm totally exhausted. There are further tests to be run - the biopsy will be repeated again in 3 months. There is somewhat of a concern for my eyesight in the right eye. The rheum do said that with the diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica he's 95% sure of the arteritis. He expects the biopsy to test positive sooner rather than later. That's why I said the doctor's are 75% sure. I'm starting out on 125 mg. of prenizone a day. The inflammation in my body has to come down. The doctor's expect a 3 year course of prednizone but will start to taper it down sometime next month depending on my ESR & CR-P levels. The paralysis may be due to the inflammation but the doctor's aren't sure if it will be permanent or not. Therefore I'm learning to use the walkers & cane - if it's a tool I'll need I need to have it down. Thanks lady, I'm looking to you for professional advice. To the rest of you thanks - it's going to be the ride of my life. by the way, Suz - I'm ready for that round of golf now. [img]:smile:[/img] I'll even take Sue on at the same time. I expect it will be a big win for you guys. [img]:rofl:[/img] [/QUOTE]
