My goodness. Your story sounds so much like mine that I just had to respond. I’ve had PMR for 4 years now and I am just 66. Before this, I was super active and felt so strong. The pain is really so debilitating and I hate the way others now see me-as old and frail. I have tried a couple of therapists- I am a psych therapist myself / but hasn’t really helped me. Keep
Hoping it will go away one day. Anyway, wanted you to know there are others out there!

@lovesport I am glad to have found this forum. It helps knowing there are others that relate to how you feel… I was diagnosed at 59, and was strong before that. Was in the hospital for 3 weeks when I got septic from cholescystectomy, which may have lead to my PMR…. I am 70 now. My PMR has been intermittent…
