Hi valb, You sound upbeat despite all you've been going through. Prednisone at the proper dosage is supposed to alleviate most of the pain of PMR. You have a lot of other stuff going on too. Have you let your doctor know what you're experiencing? I found an infrared heating pad helped to alleviate some pain, and distractions, like talking to friends (hard during COVID times), but I would get a lift. Also I used to listen to a guided imagery exercise posted by Kaiser Permanente for fibromyalgia that was soothing and helpful Sometimes it put me to sleep. I hope that helps. All the best, tsc
