The autoimmune possibility is interesting because PMR is an autoimmune disease. In my case I believe there is a strong genetic component for PMR on my mother’s side. On my father’s side there is a lot of IBS, which I did not get.

No, I did not have a colostomy, they were able to sew the two ends together. I had a Cole to my, which is removal of part of the colon. Good luck on your path. ❤️
