Almost a year that I was diagnosed with PMR. Started 15 mg prednisone. I’m finally down to 10.5 mg. I’m 70, F, love to walk. I can’t believe the pain. I also feel bruised if I sit to long or when in bed and lay to long on one side. The steroids help, but wondering if others experience this? If no sugar or processed foods I feel better. With holidays it’s awful.
I to have gained up to 30 plus lbs. one of my questions was a weight loss drug while on steroids. When I stumbled across this page.
Thank you. Oh one question
What type of doctor does one see for PMR? I live on a tiny island in Alaska with a general doctor. Will be traveling to Seattle WA soon for medical.
