Frequently towards evening I have sensation of sunburn on my lower legs and ankles and tight skin. Also have trouble with dry itchy eyes along lash edges. Has any of you experienced these as symptoms with PMR?

The itchy eyes is quite common I think and I have it a lot of the time. It was bad last week and I consciously used the liposome spray stuff I bought for dry eyes - it really helps! Trouble is, I keep forgetting! Dry eyes is very common with many autoimmune disorders. Get some artificial tears of some sort and see if that helps.
Blepharitis (the posh name for what you describe) can also be helped by careful cleaning of the edges of the eyelids with a bit of baby shampoo and cool water, wiping from inside to outside with cottonwool.

I was advised by both my optican and my GP to use Tear-Lac,preservative and phosphate free,. You can get this product on the NHS.
I too suffer from dry eyes and have to clean the edges of my lashes with baby shampoo.

I did it every day for ten days and it worked wonders for me!
That was long ago. I now suffer for severe dry eyes (kertitis) and have to use all kinds of drops. What is that "liposome spray stuff " you mention?
Does it have a brand name? On bad days I can well use an eye spray

Effect of three different liposomal eye sprays on ocular comfort and tear film.Pult H1, Gill F, Riede-Pult BH.
They decided that overall OptrexActiMist worked and improved matters whilst Tearmist (Tesco) and DryEyesMist (Boots) made some things worse. I've no doubt there is a price difference! You can use them with contact lenses and you don't have to chuck them out after a few weeks as the spray nozzle never touches your eye - unlike the tubes of drops and gels. I'm sure there are others. They are nice and cooling too I find.

bang my legs against anything the skin seems to pop open and it's very
hard to heal these wounds. Legs up the wall helps. Down to 6 mgs. of
prednisone and still going steady at l mg. per month, even though the doctor
says I can go dowm 2-3 mgs. a month I shall stay on my present course which
is working for me. Good luck to everyone.
