Three years ago I was third in a 5K Lance Armstrong Race. I was a healthy and very active woman in my 60’s and then one morning I could hardly get out of bed. I was eventually diagnosed with the auto-immune condition polymyalgia rheumatica and my whole world as I knew it changed over night. This website is dedicated to those like me who are searching for a more full and pain-free life Living With PMR.
