Thanks for your wise words. it's been hard going from a physically strong very active person to someone who creeps along like the old woman she is. One of my problems right now is the people around me only see the healthy looking person that I still look but don't understand that I am not. Thank you for keeping me grounded on the reality of PMR.

I have been fighting PMR for 5 years and just now in remission. A bout of Covid set PMR off like nothing else I have had. That was just a year ago. I have the same problem of looking great yet feeling horrid. It comes with the PMR territory. It is humbling for sure. I just think of the many people who have spent their entire lives with this yoke of looking fine but being sick. I tell people my first 75 years were fantastic, the next 5 not so much.
