That’s very interesting, I did not know that. Maybe they are missing a lot of diagnosis. I think we should all be thankful that we were diagnosed and got in the right line for treatment. I didn’t have an illness or prior injury but worked in Public Health Emergency Response during the pandemic so my stress was through the roof for the past several years. I ended up retiring right after I was diagnosed because I knew that my stress would still be feeding the inflammation. The treatment has not been the seamless solution that my first few months on prednisone were so I have just added Kevzara to the mix and am praying that I am going to be able to taper with fewer side effects and pain. Such an interesting discussion!

You were wise to retire, @sandiw77, I can't imagine working with PMR. When I had it, I was on jury duty. I tried to wash my hands in the courthouse lav and was not able to push the faucet mechanism down to get water. A woman beside me noticed and did it for me. It's odd to be so disabled yet look okay on the outside.
I hope the Kevzara works for you.
