Thx for article. Some useful ideas there. Am having to sort out what is pmr and what is methotrexate/ folic acid side effects. Info says side effects are worse in older people (That’s me. 🙂. ) Fatigue, low energy, no appetite, and, yes, the constant aches, etc. Thankful that the severe pain is gone. I lost 12+ pounds ( was already normal weight ) with pmr. Never regained. Was a 1and 1/2 mile per day walker before all this. Now I dole out energy. One activity per day. Just hard to accept this new me. Such a life altering disease. So helpful to be heard by others who understand and who share their experience. Guess I needed to hear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Forgot to ask. Do others here use a pain reliever like Advil, etc. ? So averse to taking another med, but have started to , maybe one tab a day, three times a week, as it helps.
