So far everyone else has written my story or journey with PMR. I get it, those experiences are surely shared.
Thank you

Good morning
A little over a month into prednisone currently at 15mg and all is OK, except the weirdness my body feels.
Question: I have an insect bite sight are that doesn't seem to be healing with normal treatments and time. Redness an some heat associated to the area after a week...so I thinking the prednisone has diminished my body's abilities to heal normally.
My guess I probably need a antibiotic to assist? Just another path perhaps someone's been down or maybe will soon.
Sleep duration has lessen, currently between 5 and 6 hour and feel rested and not needing to return to bed..
Hope everyone has a great weekend, the fall colors here are still pretty vibrant and pleasing to the eye. Best wishes to all.

Hi Gang,
As my mind replenishes its self over night. I'd like to get down to the (HEART OF THE MATTER). What markers, paths, or other health issue to we commonly share? Other being on the Back side of 60 or 70....?
Do we have issues of digestive track disorders or organs not hitting on all cylinders? That perhaps in my simple uneducated mind that may have been responsible for the onset of this
monster we all have in common. Even in light of most of our folks saying they have normal blood test results......but wait a minute my Neutrophilis were at 5.9 since 9/7/22 and still remains on the high side at 5.82 as (6) being the high side marker. How far do we have to be above that threshold before its noticed or perhaps is a factor?
Does have been vaccinated and boosted still had Covid twice during this poor health period.
Is there a non answer that a digestive track disorder may have triggered my immune system to create this imbalance that attacks the muscular skeletal system. Which leaves you with a sense that the, lights are out and nobodies home fog were even the smallest of chores are a mountain to climb. Tiredness and lack of energy seems to prevail. Even simple things become very annoying, that were once just a daily routine.
Well I am in the early stages of treatment, begun with Prednisone about two weeks ago. With an nearly over night recovery, where prior getting out of bed in the morning was a real struggle or just turning over in bed was painful. What possessed my control center to go out of complete control. You get it, enough questions for now. Have a blessed day.
