So hard to hear all the struggles. I sure hope your eyesight improves. This is a humbling disease. Everyone has struggles and of different degrees. The Mayo is a great place to be. The steroids are tough and I am fortunate they worked for me. I hope that they get you figured out and that you get better fast.
I feel that things change almost everyday, as yesterday, I think I started to relapse. Well one thing for sure, thanks for the doctors and the advancement in care since my dad was diagnosed PMR 40 years ago. Bless you and YOU stay hopeful!! You are in good hands.

@bettsgca Thanks so very much for your encouragement! I feel so, so lucky that I was able to get into Mayo. The level of care here is incredible. That gratitude has kept me feeling safe, positive, & hopeful even through the set backs. Sometimes when I project too far ahead, wondering how this will affect my husband & my so far nice retirement, I get anxious but then I tell myself ONE STEP AT A TIME! Just happy for the little wins & living in the present. Thank you again!
