"Very kind Doctor"

About: New Valley Practice

I came in last Thursday , suffering with stiff and painful joints ! Had been suffering at least since before Christmas. Gradually got worse , couldn’t walk properly. Getting out of bed in the morning was so painful. I felt so tired all the time . Began to think I would end up in a wheelchair ! It was like living in a fog ! As soon as Dr saw me walking , he realised I had an issue . He asked me lots of questions, and said he was sure I had Polymyalgia rheumatica . He took blood and sent it off. . He reassured me that he would put me on steroids and that I would quickly start to feel better . Bloods confirmed diagnosis , and I started on tablets straight away . What can I say , I call them miracle tablets !!! Within a few hours I started to feel better , pain and stiffness went . Could almost run up the stairs!! Everything felt clear , it was like coming out of a fog !! Family had been worried about me , now everyone happy !!

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr . He has even rung me to see how I am getting on with tabs ! I am very happy !
