I walked 18 holes of golf on Tuseday, felt great. Teo days later I couldn't get out of bed. Dx PMR.

Thank you very much for a fascinating presentation. I was diagnosed with pmr in November 2021 and have spent time on the 'steroid flare rollercoaster'. Luckily I have since learned how to decrease steroids slowly without flaring and am down to 3mg per day of prednisolone (I am in the UK). I would like to include a link to this presentation on a website I am currently building. Thank you again for the presentation.

16 months in with no formal diagnosis, I'm down to 4 from 20. A rheum mocked me for my taper , seeing 13.25! I learn more on Facebook and Mayo PMR page. Hubby is a retired internist so I'm forced to use him as my RX doc.
Just like he said, I fell off a cliff, playing pickleball one day and couldnt roll over in bed a few days later.
