I’m just wondering how old most of you are with PMR

I was 54 when I had first symptoms and officially diagnosed a few months later. I had a PET scan to confirm diagnosis. Yes that’s young for pmr but it can definitely happen at that age. I would try to see a specialist (Rheumatologist) if at all possible. GPs don’t generally have all the answers as this is a difficult autoimmune disease to treat. Hope you find the right Dr and treatment.

I was 73 after my Covid 19 shot. It has affected every aspect of my physical health and ability to deal with usual aging conditions. It does get me down but fortunately I’m not prone to depression try to loop on the bright side and remember there’s always the hope of tomorrow being better. I’m 77 now and dealing with this day to day.
