yes. Thanks for asking. My wife passed in Nov. I have been a 4 year caretaker. I had hoped the added stress would not flare my PMR. It appears not. I believe her health and my getting the covid shot contributed to my PMR. I developed a shooting pain in the nerve at the top of right hip joint. But I have been able to maintain without steroids. So my supply of dexamethasone has dried up. Although I have stockpiled quite a bit. I might need to move to a grief share site. 🙂

Sorry to hear about your wife's passing, tuckerp, and so very recently.
Definitely get some grieving support to help you get through it and keep an eye on your health.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife. Grief is real. Please take time to work thru it. I lost my husband years ago. I still miss him horribly. I do realize he was in pain toward the end. I did not know how I would ever recover. I did and you can as well.
