I had a very acute onset after an active vacation in Europe.
After being shunted around 2 airports and flight cancellations
I was delayed and the last one aboard a full jumbo jet.
Felt some aches and discomfort on the flight and arrived at O’Hare
very stiff and sore. I was shaky and weak, unable to lift my luggage.
Called my family practitioner and was seen the next day. We both suspected
PMR as my mother had it at age 80. Sed rate and CRP were very high.
Promptly improved on prednisone and weaned to be done with Rx in 14 months.Fast forward following year after retirement and developed multi focal
lab negative enthesitis. I have had very minimal psoriasis for years.
Doing well -I’m on Meloxicam, Diclofenac gel and icing. No PMR and fully
Covid vaccinated.
