Hi,
and welcome.
That question could open a whole can of worms - many have very differing stores - am I sure you get plenty of answers - but it might be easier to ask specific questions.
In the meanwhile have a look at this, it might give you a better idea of PMR - if you're not too sure what's what

Bit more info about you would be nice.
In a nutshell polymyalgia is normally bilateral in the shoulders and/or the hips. In my case it became excruciating so I was unable to get out of bed or dress myself. It is muscle pain not joint pain as for arthritis.
