Good days and bad

Ditto- I started on 15mg April 2025 and down to 9mg June 2026. However the pain started creeping back. This past week I found myself having to take 15mg to get relief. I thought it might be red-meat, or the occasional sweet treat or perhaps the light to moderate exercise caused my relapse. However, I firmly believe it is none of the above. PMR is going to raise its ugly head when it wants to. Period.

Moreover, if any of the factors below exacerbate PMR then narrowing down any specific cause or factor is a total crap-shoot for all concerned. (Well... at least for me)
# Age
#Weight
# Genetics
# General Health
# Maintenance medications taken
# Diet
# Habits (good and bad) lol

You can probably add stress, both physical/illness and mental to your list.
