Welcome to the PMR support group!
We are here to help and listen to all of your PMR questions….
It may be unusual, but not unheard of to get PMR at the age of 43. Auto immune disorders don’t seem to have a age limit.
I was diagnosed with reactive arthritis at the age of 23. This particular condition usually occurs in young men 98% of the time. I was in the 2% female category!
At the time I was working in a doctors office, married with an 18 month old son! It was a little over a year before I could physically go back to work (this time working in a hospital). The one good thing is that it went into remission for 20 years! I now get occasional flare ups that are certainly not as bad as the original.
PMR came along at the age of 72. I’ve had my ups and downs, but this group has certainly been a wealth of information and support.
What kind of treatment are you getting and is it helping with your pain?
