After PMR and return to good health

I am currently down to 5mg Prednisone per day. I do not find issues with hard exercises (bike, hike, yoga). I do have some trouble sleeping, occasional night sweats and some fatigue issues. I don’t eat many animal products. The only diet trigger I can sense is corn. I can eat a little, a bowl of popcorn can make me achy. 62 years active male. Up to date on all vaccines except shingles.

Good for you.

I had all of my vaccines last fall, spaced several weeks apart, except for RSV. Can't do that one now. Shingles was tough, but I guess having it is worse.

We had beautiful fall weather, so I overdid some heavy gardening, helped with a huge mural, helped a friend move furniture and hang paintings, also co chaired an auction for a non profit. My PCP and I theorize that I created a "perfect storm" for my body. It just said WHOA and slipped into PMR.

Sure put a detour in my life!

Curious to hear what my Rheumatologist has to say when I finally see him in 2.5 weeks.

I have cut most animal products too - especially after watching a Netflix documentary called "You are what you eat - the twin experiment'.

Glad you can exercise - I walk and do Yoga with lots of complaints from my shoulders and hips. Swimming is divine.

We all are facing a tough condition. Here's to remission!
