Has anyone got any advice on PMR? Was diagnosed last March and still really struggling. Steroids have been increased three times now after trying to reduce them but 10mg just don’t seem to be working and may have to increase them more again. I started at 30mg and felt so much better but just feel so ill again. The pain in my neck and shoulders are getting me down. Having to take regular ibuprofen or co-codamol to get a little relief. Sit with a hot water bottle most of the day. Fatigue crippling too. I have an auto immune liver disease disease and fibromyalgia too which are usually pretty much controlled but the PMR is in another league. I am now 62 years old and was always active before the fibromyalgia was diagnosed. Over time I learned to live with it and pace myself. I am getting so depressed and wonder if I will ever get my life back.
) a few years ago. It can be pretty miserable and yours is complicated by the other conditions. One good thing is that it should burn itself out after a year or two. Mine went away only to be replaced by rheumatoid arthritis, which will be with me for life
! These autoimmune diseases are a pain! I too took regular ibuprofen, but my monthly blood tests showed that they were harming my liver, so I then switched to paracetamol which were less effective. I hope you are having regular blood tests too.Why is Keir Starmer trying to put so many voters off?
