Hey John thanks for the response. By super active I’m less the weekend warrior that I used to be athletically now just moving a lot - walking, gardening projects, house chores, playing catch with my son’s etc. you do make a great point. I think I’ll try to keep track and just see how the aches and pains might align with the previous days activity.
Regarding diet I’m a pretty healthy eater not much red meat, lots of non-inflammatory veggies. I did swap out cream in my coffee for oat milk because it just made me feel better. I rarely drink alcohol- Despite the fact I love beer!
I saw some references to the Wahl diet But after reading through some of the recipes I doubt it’s for me. I really hate to cook and eat primarily for fuel. Grilled fish or chicken with a side of steamed vegetables and salad is more my style! Any ideas?

Sounds like you are already on top of the healthy eating. I do take some supplements to hopefully help keep the inflammation down. I too have switched to not much red meat and mostly chicken, turkey and some pork (and bacon!) along with veggies. I try to limit the sugar and all fast foods. Also have mostly switched to water, coffee and tea for beverages. I used to be really fond of beer 🙂 I also take some supplements for my neuropathy which are also included in the ones listed for PMR here -- https://www.arthritis-health.com/blog/diet-and-supplements-polymyalgia-rheumatica-pmr
I'm trying to cut down on the carbs but bread is one that I have trouble giving up so I try to limit it.
