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.

@chpfireball. I bet that most of the people diagnosed with PMR have had the same type of experience and then onset as you describe. I, for one, had a similar series of events that were immediately (within 3-6 months) prior to my PMR. Stress seems to be the straw that breaks the camels back. Maybe not a sole cause (like genetics) but a very important component . Thanks for sharing your stress story. Hope that fiasco has been straightened out by now.
