Thank you for the info --- those of us who grew and lived as 'boomers', the FDA wasn't around that much -- in the rural areas (where I grew up) - our diet wasn't the best -- I know where I live the water is loaded with manganese and so many people back then had lead pipes and etc. ---- just thinking where ever this came from and trying to prevent others from getting it ----- I have never hurt so much in my life ----- miserable ------ again -- Thank You very much for the info ----

You're welcome, @wv54. I told my rheumatologist that there is nothing like the pain of PMR. I felt like I was wearingt an astronaut suit of pain and stiffness from the neck down. The proper dosage of Prednisone is supposed to make symptoms disappear - some refer to it as miraculous. I hope you are getting good medical care.
