My appointment with the surgeon in Dandenong today confirmed that I do not have temporal arteritis. He advised me to continue with the cortisone and have a blood test later this week as requested by the rheumatologist, and to see her next Monday as scheduled, as there's a possibility I have polymyalgic rheumatosis. I'm sure I don't, I'm pain free and have felt well for some days since the strange events of last week. I will follow through, another blood test and trip to Dandenong to have the specialist finalize this bizarre episode will not inconvenience me greatly.
I'm grateful to be healthy, and hope I remain so.

Thank od for that.
Thank od, says raylynn. Who's he, she or it? I'll thank od too, but I'm not sure for what. Your blog doesn't exactly spell out what happened that had you off to the doctor and various specialists and departments. But I wish you well nonetheless. I'm about a backlog of stuff. Mr getadog.
Thanks for the well wishes Mr getadog. I think Raylynn left out the 'G', but I never was good at puzzles. I had throat and neck and ear pain (even shoulder too)and went to the doc to eliminate heart attack or stroke as precaution. It was blood test results showing high inflammation that sent things into merrygoround.
