PMR, Prednisone

Posted , 3 users are following.

just saw the article about the breakthrough for Fibromyalgia! I know PMR is a very different ailment, but it is promising to think that researchers might hit on the cause of PMR too. Guess it is excess blood cells in the legs, hands and feet that cause the pain in Fibromyalgia.

    Do you mean the one from 2013? I can't find anything any later - and it doesn't seem to have made much difference!

      A friend sent the article to me...USA Healthy Life. Must be a fake news site!!

      No, not fake news - just making a headline out of old news. The study the article is about is from 2013 - took a bit of digging but I have traced it back.

      I also traced it back...you are so-o quick😊 But, like you said...nothing has come of it!!

      I got rather excited there for a moment, as I have Fibro and PMR. I will go search for it regardless - any glimmer of hope ?
