New system

Dear Susan42255,

                              I had exactly the same symptoms. The specialist put it down to large doses of Prednisolone. (80mg?) Couldn't use my cutlery at all, embarrassing to clear the plate with my fingers ! I'm on 10mg now and this will be reduced over the next few weeks . The pain and cramp ended when the dose was reduced. But this was probably better than the illness and dialysis!

I became ill in July, still have small amounts of protein in sample. Last time nothing.

                          Hang on in there. Regards , Eric

Thanks the only problem is I came of prednisolone at least 5 months ago and the pain started to get worse after I came off 

DearSusan42245,

                              Sorry I couldn't help. Sometimes these conditions can take years but people do recover. 

Back to my painting !
