I'm 44 years old female very fair skinned from the middle east with multiple injuries over the years and work in the medical field. I was just diagnosed with PMR (based on signs, symptoms, and bloodwork... along with seeing Neurologist, Pain Specialist, Orthopedic, Cardiologist, PT, Psychiatry, and PCP !!) It took 5 years to figure out what was going on with my pain and stiffness. Not until I saw the Rheumatologist that I finally got the treatment (which I decided to do that myself since one doctor decided that it was Fibromyalgia because he couldn't decide what was wrong with me !) Too late, I had to go on disability because of my pain..and after 20 years in the medical field, I'm done with healthcare system altogether!

thank you for sharing this video, you are a blessing !

My PMR was cured when I stopped taking steroids and concentrated kn curing a leaky gut by changing my diet and avoiding things like vegetable oils, sugar and ultra-processed foods. I also began using olive oil and avoiding food containing lectins. I'm fine now but had 2 years of hell.

Thank you for all your videos. Well presented and on point all of them are👍

Thanks very helpful

Thank you 🤩🤩💖

I know you are not supposed to consult Dr. Google lest you have every disease you read about.....BUT........I think I have this PMR and will be consulting my GP about it. I have all the symptoms, bilateral shoulder pain, trunk pain, fatigue, waking at night from pain, morning stiffness for a good hour, more when my drive to work is longer and I’m stuck sitting in one place, age 67, female, have been told I may have fibromyalgia, etc. My father had the same symptoms as do a sister, age 64, and a brother, age 70. I recall great grandma having pain in her shoulders so that she couldn’t pick up or carry laundry baskets or the baby. (She was afraid she’d drop him.) I will also get checked for giant cell arteritis as I have a heart murmur. There are also other autoimmune diseases in my extended family, RA, MS, and lupus.

Omg it’s like you read my mind.. today I was thinking of pinging you to suggest if you could do video on PMR 😅 Spooky but thank you x

Hello , do you have a clinic. I think my cousin is going through this. A male, in his 30s. But he's not getting the attention he needs in his location which is Italy.

I’m 31 and have PMR, No family history :’(

I got PMR after my Covid vaccine in 2021. The symptoms were swelling of my feet,hands and neck. I went to my doctor and got steroids which relieved the swelling and burning sensation. But the severe depression that followed was the worst I ever experienced.

I was lucky. I described my symptoms to my G P and she diagnosed it right away and prescribed a steroid.

My mum has been referred to a rheumatologist for sudden unknown pain to rule out PMR . Pain first started in thighs the moved to shoulders R>L unable to lower lift upper extremities above head. R shoulder is slightly swollen. Pain also in groin area but again worse in R shoulder area. Pain sometimes awakens her at night and almost unbearable when attempting to get out of bed to use bathroom. Steroids were recommended but she has had bad side effects. She is changing her diet to anti inflammatory foods and avoiding food high in oxalates. Awaiting lab results to see if inflammatory markers are elevated

Can you still have poly myalgia even though your blood test come back normal

I’m 39 and have been diagnosed

Sounds like my symptoms.

I have PMR. My blood tests gave me my diagnosis. Stiff morning pain is not enough for a dìagnosis.

Im 41 and test to be firmally diagnosed but the last thing i want to take is steroids, especially at my age.. Are there less drastic alternatives or more holistoc approached to treatment available?

This video matches my condition to the T but i cant get a positive diagnosis because i don't have any inflammatory markers in my blood work. I read that some people don't show markers but none of the doctors I have seen believe that.

Seems like it's happening to the young now. I think mine started early 40s with mild neck should tension when I woke thinking I slept wrong or my pillow was the culprit. Had lower back pain and hip pain while sleeping. Weakness and fatigue. What bothered me most was that. Thigh weakness. I think the sun or covid jab is causing it now. I found excedrin and not sure which is helping me alot , the curcumin with boswella or ashawandga but with those herbs I don't have to take excedrin anymore.

What is the blood test to diagnose PMR?

Im on my 11th year with PMR. On 5 mg and flare 2-3 times a year.

Is there a lab test to confirm PMR?

I'm 63, white male, of good health and 2 years ago, a week after I had the second AZ cov19 vaccine, I went down with this. 2 years on and I am still on predisolone ! Arrgghhh I know it is not a life ending disease, I hate this condition!

I think I have this but I can’t see a doctor until January. My stupid job will fire me

Im betting diet and environmental toxicity plays a heavy role in the development of PMR

Better managed by a rheumatologist vs pcp

No indication of how long it lasts?

Why don't you talk about ketogenic diet and its improvement on rheumatic diseases?

The Carnivore diet fixed my PMR that I had5 yrs! Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself!
