I agree with all the comments. You should get evaluated for everything. Because you have had PMR, dont let them lump all together as that condition. I found out that I had blocked arteries, and slap tear in my right shoulder with arthritis in my knees. In addition, I , like you, was able to stop steroids in 6 months. That is pretty unlikely with this condition. It also took me about 3 months to feel normal. I am retired but I found I had to go to the gym in the mornings and get things moving. excercise is very important. It is hard for most of us to reduce stress but that is important. I had to block any stress triggers. I quit watching the news, I avoid anything i know is going to be uncomfortable. Especially at bedtime. I had to avoid alcohol. I cut back on my coffee.

Wow! Hi tuckerp. How did you find out you had blocked arteries? Glad you are doing well now. Quite a story.
