This study relates to exercise and breathing and indicates a delayed recovery for folks with Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and also Fibromyalgia. But this could be the case with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), too. It just hasn't been specifically studied. healthrising.org/blog/2022/...

We have talked about it in the research group I am in - and experience suggests it is exactly the same. Hence the emphasis we put on returning to exercise very carefully after PMR.

Thanks. Am never sure what studies are already posted. Having PMR is unfortunate but at least the available scientific knowledge and remaining mysteries are interesting to mull.

Doesn't really matter - posts disappear so quickly as new ones arrive and by no means everyone sees a given post if they don't come n the forum daily. It was because of the change of policy (at last) about "graded exercise" for ME/CFS, It's been clear that it can make things worse rather than better for some.
