I am so sorry you have been diagnosed with PMR. I assume you are now taking steroids, did they do their magic? I hope so. In addition to steroids you should be prescribed Vitamin D with calcium to help fight against a side effect of pred. Also you should be offered a Dexascan to check your bone density. Remember if you now feel better don’t overdo it, the steroids are covering up not curing you.
