I'm 73, and I had good days and bad days before PMR. Even after being diagnosed with PMR, I have had good days and bad days that are probably not all attributable to PMR. The problem at our age is trying to distinguish between PMR symptoms and age related symptoms. Some of us also have a second adverse health condition. It's a crap shoot some days trying to figure out what I can and can't do, or what I should or shouldn't do.
