I have PMR and blood pressure just plummeted for no reason. Ideas???
I live in Australia. I started with PMR in late August 2021. It was hit with 50mg of Pred and that stopped the excruciating pain it's tracks. Then the hard part started. I initially knocked chunks off the Pred, coming down really fast from 50mg to about 6 mg in three months. I had the odd bout of neck

Well here I go again! W1R1
So to celebrate my 56th birthday (how did those years fly by) I decided to start C25K again. Doing this mainly to support my partner James as he returns to exercise after having a stent fitted 2 months ago. And what a beautiful morning I chose for this. Got out early before it gets too warm but
