Blood Clots - Connected with PMR?

I am new to PMR as well. Only one month diagnosed, but previous 5 months were PMR undiagnosed and extruciating. Prednisone is great, but some of the side effects can be, at times concerning. Talking to your Rheumatologist is your best bet. Keep moving as much as possible. It's a day to day thing for me, one day it's one thing and the next something different. The Prednisone has arrested the pain almost 100%. The side effects are the trade-off for a way more productive life...so we shall see. Wanting to return to work, but waiting to hear from my Neurologist for the go-ahead. All the best to you ~ Deb.

Thank you. Yes I have my list of questions for my Rheumatologist and this is one of them (if I should see a Neurologist or are my strange nerve symptoms a side effect of PMR or Prednisone). I agree. Each day is something different. Isn't it remarkable?! That is so great that you are nearly 100% pain free. That is my goal but it comes with a medication side effect trade-off, like you said. But I want my life back. I 'was' a very 'young', physically active 59 year old and I feel 20 years older. Best to you as well!
