Thank you. Yesterday I claimed that my shoulder pain was pretty much gone. Well….. I drank red wine last night and had another shoulder flare up at 1am. Still have it. How would you describe your shoulder pain? Mine feels like I’m being roasted from the inside. It’s not hot but feels hot. It also feels like my shoulders are vibrating or bubbling. It’s not, that’s what it feels like. It’s so weird. I tried explaining that to my rheumatologist. He said he didn’t know what I was taking about. And he’s had PMR. Does anyone else feel like that?

I am wondering if your ‘vibrating’ is actually a spasm? Spasms can actually be a very active part of PMR and the red wine may have set you off. My spasms usually start in my upper back , neck and across my shoulders. I would definitely try some heat and take it very slow for a few days but you still might need to talk with your rheumatologist about increasing your dosage for a while. Prayers headed your way!
