Hi @lindaadele - I'm not sure anxiety can cause a PMR flare up but I think it can definitely make one worse. I think this PMR video I also shared in another discussion might explain it a little better.

Have you looked into any mindfulness exercises? Mayo Clinic has a list here that might be helpful - https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/mindfulness-exercises/art-20046356

@johnbishop it has been almost 10 years since my diagnosis and I have done well except this year.
The last few months I have been on steroids.
The anxious feeling I get is draining me out. I feel like I should cry, but no tears.
I keep self soothing.
Am glad am not going banana
