Things People With Polymyalgia Rheumatica Want Others to Know

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder characterized by muscle pain and stiffness, most commonly felt in the shoulders, hips, and neck.

The Mighty has teamed up with Sanofi to ask our community to share their experiences and insights about living with PMR.

What has empowered you to learn more about polymyalgia rheumatica? How do you advocate for your own care? 

When I see the doctor, I ask how I can effectively manage my symptoms.

What is something you wish your doctor had told you about your condition when you were first diagnosed? 

It would affect everything I do in my life.

Exercise and go to physical therapy.

If you live with polymyalgia rheumatica, know you are not alone, and there are resources, community, and more to support you in your journey.
