I have GCA, not PMR, but I feel there are certain commonalities in our reaction and our effort to manage an existing disease...that is the way I look at it. The autoimmune disease is a tough boss and will go when it is darn good and ready. The most we can do it manage it the best we can.

When I came home today from a four-hour art class, I slept for five hours. That was mainly because Monday and Tuesday of this week were non-top. The different stressors you have been under make my week look like a cakewalk. My Lord, you have been under a ton of stress for a long time!! Good happy stress, like trying to vacation, wears on you just like the stress of worrying about one of our children.
Are you happy with your rheumatologist? How often do you see him/her? When I was reading your post, I was waiting..." then I had a stomach bleed''. You took enough Ibuprofen and aspirin to cause one. How about Tylenol?
I'm hoping there is a course of treatment that will relieve you!!💞
