Another thought that I learned after my first round with PMR is lifestyle changes. It's not easy but it's well worth it and might make it easier in the long run.

"If you have PMR, it's important to make time for physical activity. You may need to avoid strenuous activities, but light exercise can help improve your symptoms and overall sense of well-being. Some exercises may also help you prevent side effects from medications you're taking." --- Polymyalgia Rheumatica Diet: Do's and Don'ts - Healthline: https://www.healthline.com/health/polymyalgia-rheumatica-diet

That's really helpful, thanks. I've been forcing myself to walk and do arm & leg exercises. It's painful, but it definitely helps. I didn't know exercise could help with side effects, though. That's really intriguing for me considering I'm on a lot of medication.
