l spent the last 6 months (and a lot of money) going to the chiropractor because of my painful shoulders. l had NEVER heard of PMR until l had bloodwork done for another reason, and my Dr. immediately put me on 40mg prednisone. Which worked so well! Just kicking myself for not talking to my Dr. sooner. I had seen him because l was having weird heart palpitations that were scaring me. Wondering if that is related to PMR. Also l had been under a lot of stress, plus major lack of sleep. ln 2 months l have been able to reduce prednisone to 20 mg and am still symptom free.
