PMR appears in people with Commonalities, by chance?

The one “commonality” you are all experiencing may be because, if you are over the age of 60, all doctors prescribe STATINS like they are candy for the aged.
I firmly believe statins directly cause PMR.

Never taken a statin in my life and I am well past 60 with PMR. Gave up refined sugar 3 years ago and my Lipid Panel is beautiful. Statins may be a contributing factor in your case but I suspect there are several other factors at play. I also suspect that your sugar intake contributes to the inflammation that PMR causes. Sugar is a food that every anti-inflammatory diet says to limit.
Yeah, I've never had a statin either.
Nor I. I have never been on a statin. In fact, no drug really until the prednisone.

I am not on statins - was on no meds at all previous to this but I’ll agree w you that statins are a bad idea.
