Can PMR be induced by Exercise

@ds1 I'm certain my sudden onset PMR - which was later diagnosed as connective tissue disease - was caused by the expensive hydrolysed marine collagen I started taking five days before symptoms started. Hydrolysed collagen is structurally altered collagen. It makes sense to me that some of us react to altered collagen. Our bodies attack the alien collagen, then broaden that attack to include our own similar collagen, as happens in PMR and connective tissue disease.

There are many theories about what causes autoimmune disorders. Foreign proteins in the body was one I liked the best. There are many ways that these foreign proteins get into the body but infections are the more common way. I don't know why ingesting foreign proteins aren't believed to cause too many problems. It certainly seems possible. I will probably avoid marine collagen since the nearest ocean to me is more than 1,000 miles away. My body is not accustomed to seafood very often.

@megz wow! I started taking hydrolysed marine collagen about 4 months ago. I was diagnosed with PMR 10 weeks ago.
I had started to feel strange hip joint area pain before that though, that got progressively worse. It was off-and-on at first, then steady, then horrible. I thought it was a new exercise or new stretching
That I had added to my routine (8 months ago.)
I had a total shoulder replacement so my exercise and PT rehab had to be altered a bit.) I wondered, now do again, if the hydrolysed marine collagen supplement enhanced and hurried the PMR. I wondered if the shoulder replacement triggered something also.
Thanks for the share.
