Polymyalgia Rheumatica | Signs and Symptoms of PMR

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

What is the blood test to diagnose PMR?

I’m 39 and have been diagnosed

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

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

Better managed by a rheumatologist vs pcp

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?

No indication of how long it lasts?

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!

Thanks very helpful

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

Thank you 🤩🤩💖

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

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

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