Polymyalgia Rheumatica? According to statistics 59 out of 100,000 Americans get it. Thats .059%! Better chance of winning the lottery, and yet.....here I am with it.

Sure aint fun

Yes, I have been dealing with it for several years. I have been dealing with it with pills called prednisone(sp) which has some nasty side effects. I am now in an acceptable range with 3/1mg pills a day vs 25 mg at the start. At this pill level the side effects are minimal. Good luck.
