I was diagnosed with PMR 18 months ago. I am now on 3mg. During that time I have definitly felt fatigue where I just had to sit down and not do anything. It is better now than it was. But if there is some activity I have not done in awhile I now question whether I will have enough energy to complete the activity. It feels strange not to "trust" my body anymore. I hope this will pass!
I really appreciate the Connect group. It is really helpful to hear others experiences. Thank you

I completely agree with your assessment of fatigue. I have gone from a high energy "get it done" person to someone who pre-gauges a situation to wonder if there will be a seat available and can I leave a social engagement early so I can go home and nap! I used to enjoy driving long distances and now seem to have lost confidence because I sometimes seem to be in a kind of "fog". Fortunately I am retired, but I wonder how many people with PMR have had to take an early retirement or even apply for disability. Yes, you are right about this group being such a mine of information All rheumatologists should be required to join and read the comments on a regular basis!
