Diagnosed with PMR shortly after starting statin drug.

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?

I did contact my doctor and he told me to stop the statins and see if symptoms go away in 2or 3 weeks. It’s been 3wks and no change so will be contacting doctor soon.
