Pmr and pain all over

last night i went to a surprise birthday party that to my surprise was outdoors in the 88 degree heat and humidity (i thought it would be in an airconditioned ballroom). for 3 hours i sat in a small metal garden chair and agonized. or stood to talk to people and agonized from standing. the longer i sat, the weaker and sicker i got until by the time we left, i was miserable and sore all over and dripping with my pollen allergies.

today every muscle in my body aches and im weak. probably doms? im at 5 mg, have had pmr since sept 2016. ive been doing split dose but decided this morning to take the whole 5; split dose doesnt seem to make a difference for me; ive tried twice.

here is my question: what do i do today and for the next few days? rest? or try to move? rest makes pmr worse, movement helps, everyone says. i dont have much of an exercise routine--i walk a little when i can, and do a few exercises, but right now i have hip bursitits, cant see physio for 2 more weeks. i just want some advice as to what to do today and maybe next couple days in terms of rest v movement. thank you.
