I agree! This is my third episode of PMR over the past 30 years. Now during this third episode and at the age of 78 the “gift “ that it has given me is to release my attachment to an outcome. Not just with PMR but with so many things in my life. Do the dishes really need to be cleaned right now? Can the weeds wait just a little bit longer? And the Acknowledgement that my body will dictate how I taper off of prednisone. I so appreciate this forum and the courage to be vulnerable and share your experiences

Hi @sashakay, I really think there is something to that, "the courage to be vulnerable", coming down from a high place of ability to a place of pain and weakness, an acknowledgment of frailty. I am much better now and I have learned the lessons you expressed about dishes, weeds and other tasks. I don't push myself to accomplish more than is comfortable each day. I'm just grateful for what I can do and that I still can do some things. Thank you, Teri
