Hi Over 60's - I would just like to add a small note on how I try and stay young (I'm 66) and try to stay mentally and physically active. I was diagnosed with PMR one year ago but I'm not letting it get to me (although I can't wait for it to leave me!). Yes, it's painful but we have to move on and not dwell. I'm also still employed full time which I find helps - we must have something to do - an interest that also interacts with other people. There is always someone out there that is worse off than ourselves. Do volunteer work if you are not employed or don't need to be employed. Help others - it's so rewarding and a great way to meet people.
