Thanks for the post. I am new to PMR having contracted it at 78, but have long noted that sugar intake increases inflammation. Having recently lost my husband, I took to self comfort with poor eating habits, and am in the process of revering that.

Hello @1sunny, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry for the recent loss of your husband. That has to make dealing with PMR that much more difficult. I'm happy to hear that you are in the process of changing some eating habits. That was also one of my more difficult things to do but it really helped shorten my second time around with PMR and I'm hoping it helps keep it away forever.

There are many other discussions in the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group that you might find helpful in dealing with PMR. Here is the list of discussions if you want to take a look - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/polymyalgia-rheumatica-pmr/.

Do you find that some stretching and a little exercise helps in the mornings to get rid of the stiffness when you wake up?
