Dad has been diagnosed with Polymyalgia. It is easily treatable with steroids and the treatment should start on Friday.

It is such a relief to know what the problem is and that it can be controlled, and that my Dad will be pain free!

Jayne said...: I agree with Guyana Gyal - it's horrible to see a parent in pain. My recent trip to the UK was a prime example & I felt so helpless as I couldn't do anything to help ease my dads pain :-(
Here's hoping your dad has kissed the days of pain well away now john :-); 20 July 2012 at 11:00
