Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) is one of the most commonly misunderstood inflammatory conditions—yet it affects thousands of people each year, often suddenly and severely. In this episode, Dr. Isabelle Amigues breaks down exactly what PMR is, why it happens, how it's diagnosed, and how patients can reach full remission. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or supporting someone who’s struggling, this episode brings clarity, empowerment, and science-backed guidance.

Main Topics Covered:

What PMR Actually Is
Classic Symptoms & Presentation
Why PMR Happens
How PMR Is Diagnosed
The Gold-Standard Treatment Plan
