To all that suffer from PMR think positive. This is what I mean I am almost 78 PMR came on 2 years ago very depressing when it props up then as time went on I learnt to live with it. I told myself I'll be darned if this is going to get the best of me. Now I do gym work 4 days a week, this time of the year I down hill ski, summer time I still take trips on my motorcycle. Active you might say but believe me it take my mind off the discomfort to the point that at the end of the day I am amazed on how good I feel & then of course the next morning it starts all over again. The big secret is keep active volunteer at the hospital or something I myself I am with our local police dept. for the last 12 years. KEEP MOVING
