From the previous comments, are we to conclude a link between PMR and alcohol consumption? 🙂

@ventmann Ha Ha - but seriously it's hard to say. Alcohol is inflammatory like many things - there are people who argue that tomatoes are one of the worst inflammatory foods and others that they are anti-inflammatory. In in my case I'd given up alcohol for several years for general health way before PMR hit. But don't know if anybody has tested for lifetime total consumption of alcohol as a risk factor.

@ventmann

I'm not sure if there is a link between PMR and alcohol consumption. For sure chronic alcohol "abuse" isn't good for anyone.
