I do think it might be stress related, I had a stressful time 9 years ago and had my first symptoms of PMR. Today I have the same symptoms and a very painful flare up. Last year was also a very stressful time for me. I never believed that stress could be the cause of a disease but I guess I was wrong..?

My body went through physical stress due to a traumatic injury to the foot requiring 7 stitches. I am sure that triggered it for me.
Any stress can cause the body to react in a way we can’t understand.

I also think PMR is stress related. We moved to Idaho from California in 2018, then in 2022 decided to move back to California. While in the process of selling our house in Idaho it fell out of escrow twice. The second time we were notified within 30 minutes of the moving truck leaving with all of our possessions. We had to walk away from the house we were in escrow in California and lose our earnest money. Then we had to pay to get all of our stuff back. Six months later we relisted our house got a cash offer in three days and moved to California. Three months later I got hit with PMR. Couldn't raise my arms, turn my neck, rollover in bed or dress myself.
