Hi.. I'm glad to find someone about the same age as me (72) with PMR and still actively employed, although part time. I was diagnosed in Oct 2021. Started with 15 mg. I'm now down to 5 mg. However, 2 weeks ago, I felt the most painful pain in my groin area (left side) next to my left hip that I had to limp. I was seen at the ER but drs thought I was having a stroke because of the numbness on my left leg and thigh. I was admitted to the hospital for further observation. Stroke was ruled out but none of the drs could relate the pain to PMR. No one seems to know what the disease is. I now use a cane to help me ambulate. I will see my Rheumatologist in 2 weeks. All this time, I was still holding a full time 40-hr a week job. I refused to be sidelined by this disease or feel sorry for myself. I hope I find others who are in a similar situation and still holding on to their jobs.
