I'm so happy to have found you all! A great big thank you to all who shared information and advice.

Steroids are doing their thing and I am already feeling much better. I was able to attend worship services today for the first time in weeks. hubby is thrilled I can dress myself and so am I.

Disappointed to learn this will be a marathon instead of a sprint, but you all are dealing and so can I

    hi Oregonh.....I didn't see your original post, but it sounds like things are going fairly well for you. GREAT!!

    I'm so happy to hear that as so many folks have alot of trouble.

    I've was dx'd in May of 2018, so it's been about 1 1/2 yrs since this Crazy journey.

    it's been a REAL rollercoaster for me, having many more problems with the prednisone than the PMR!! But that's just me and we all have our own stories. However, if you should find you're having any nasty side effects from the pred. feel free to contact me. I think I've become a "pseudo expert!) in that area!

    i hope things continue to go well for you and I'm sending you my best!👍🙋
