My grandmother on my mom's side probably had PMR. As a boy, I remember helping her out of her rocking chair. She was very active until she suddenly couldn't do very much. I remember her saying all the time that it was no fun getting old. She didn't take many medications but I vaguely recall her taking "little white pills." She also took 3 or 4 naps every day.

She died in the hospital but nobody did anything. They said there was nothing they could do. She didn't seem to have any pain like she had before going into the hospital. She looked comfortable so that was a blessing.
