Thanks...I'm basically pain free since starting the steroids. But like most people with PMR my daily life has significantly changed. I have very low energy most days. But being and old man who is retired Im able to daily chores but at a much slower pace of living. One of my main concerns is explaing my " condition" to others and realizing that I am not the person that I used to be...someone to be counted on the be there when needed,,,but now I live day to day...which in some ways is liberating but in other ways I feel like im disapppinting to the othres who dont understand that some days I just cant do what I need to do...thanks
