When I had PMR, I kept thinking of myself as the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz. I knew how much he must have suffered, poor thing!

@tsc wow - that is classic !! I also told someone - "remember what Bill Murray looks like on the zillionth day of waking up in Ground Hog Day ? " @johnbishop -this is a great reference for all to see:
“An Impediment to Living Life”: Why and How Should We Measure Stiffness in Polymyalgia Rheumatica?
Sarah Louise Mackie, first author - all from Great Britain.

I guess jumpers are pajamas ? NO reference to Ground Hog Day from the participants !

"'I probably just started off with a general sort of ache, a stiffness. Um because I always used to go to quite a lot of classes, sort of aerobics and things, and when I came back I wasn’t sort of recovering quite as well. You know, I always ached a bit when I came back, but I was aching a lot more, really stiff. Um and I just thought, “Oh it’s me age, I’ll just sort of work through it.” But then sort of like three months on, like you, it was sort of in bed and just—just agony, just really stiff, I couldn’t sort of get me jumpers on or anything without help.” [L/1/F/88-97]""
