Great to hear all of these comments. I was diagnosed with PMR at 50. Took a long time to get the diagnosis, but one day I couldn't get out of bed by myself. I guess I wasn't crazy after all.
It was in remission for a decade. In hindsight I realize that the start of my shoulder pain was likely the return of PMR triggered from the vaccine shots. I rock climb and assumed I had injured my shoulder or developed bursitis. Then it was both shoulders. Then my hips became stiff. It's identical to 10 yrs. ago. I was on prednisone about 18 months last time.
I did a couple of prednisone bursts, but don't want to go on a regular dose ever again.
I finally made an appt. to see a functional MD in about a week. They focus on what is going on in your body instead of treating symptoms. I am hoping he can help get rid of the inflammation. The process may take some time, but if I have success, I'll be sure to share. Hang in there everyone.
