@kjoed53 thank you for sharing your struggle. You are not alone. I was diagnosed after losing my husband and found that the help of my grief therapist was also a great help in learning to deal with PMR. Also it helped to meet online with her. Take care.

@kjoed53 ouch…..been there done that and it’s very lonely.
You are not alone, you are your own best advocate.
Ask your dr…..some things you’ll learn from this group, ask anything, someone will have similar experiences.
I.e., It takes awhile to adjust meds. I had to split the dose so when i woke up in the morning i was not in such pain. Also, sometimes you have to go up, in order to go down in dosage. Chase the Dr. keep a journal of daily meds, pain level and activities.
Lastly, hang in there…your daughter is your goal!
