It sounds like fibromyalgia and you can manage ir in some ways which I did it ten years ago, saying goodbye to it. Take care of you

Hello @ewada, welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing. Are you able to tell us a little bit more about yourself and how you were able to manage your treatments?

I've had two episodes of PMR but thankfully it went into remission both times after being treated with prednisone. I was able to taper off of prednisone after 3 years the first time and about a 1 and half years the second time.

Exactly. I refused the injection and the pills. I am not saying that I do not have body pain, but I treat it with walking. I truly believe they misdiagnosed me with RA.
