PMR onset under 55?

I was 52 when diagnosed with PMR. I didn't get off prednisone completely until I was 66. I will be 70 this year.

Technically, I still have PMR. I'm still being treated except not with prednisone. My rheumatologist just thinks I might be in remission.

I wonder if the younger a person is--- do they have PMR longer? Nobody seems to want to answer this question.

I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA at the same time when I was 54. PMR went away almost immediately after starting Pred but the GCA lingered. I was on 80mg a day for 8 months and then switched to Actemra. Took that until Nov 2021 when I was declared in remission and have been ever since.
