I was diagnosed with pmr about 10 years ago. When through it for 6 to 7 years, finally went into remission. Been fine for three years now . Was also started on staten drugs , three weeks in and have developed major inflammation everywhere just like PMR . Assuming it is but have not seen a doctor yet.

Welcome @pmragain, I enjoyed a six year remission after my first time with PMR. The first time I had PMR it took me three and a half years to taper off of prednisone. The second time around I made some lifestyle changes with my diet and exercise and was able to taper off in one and a half years. I’ve been in remission for the second time the past six years and hoping it doesn’t come back. Hopefully it’s not PMR and you recover quickly.

Have you made an appointment yet?
