@joy6808 after reading this, my first thought is, tears 😭 and more tears 😭. They need to see you down, but not out. Keep fighting.
I shared the following article with my family out of town, and they “kind of got it”.

As for Pred taper , big Question, is PMR pain or cortisol recovery, or other pain? My Dr said to supplement the Pred with Tylenol for Arthritis, up to 6 pills a day. It helped. 🤞

PS: this is from an old post, but might give you some ideas…..🙏
“When at my lowest, my support group gave me hope and promise, and the view was and is always sunny. My physical savior is my trainer whose specialty is Movement Specialist. She uses her fingers and hands (not massage) to wake up the sleepy spots, TVT (Targeted Vibration Therapy) is the latest technique. In addition, weights, TRX, ball, everything that is my weight based. No machines. Lastly, after 3 months to diagnosis I met an orthopedic consultant (who has PMR) who sent me to Aqua PT….sure makes you feel like living. I was able to take those exercises to the club pool where I live.
BTW: my support group includes all of this fabulous group, too.”
