This morning when I woke with sore muscles I concluded that the PMR is back at an early stage. There has been enough time to get over sore muscles from digging in the yard, but it's still here. Hand strength, shoulder muscle pain as the main symptoms and I'll call for an Rx tomorrow. I just looked back in this thread to April 28 remarks about how the trackball mouse works - not as well - it's because my hands have been stiff, not because the device isn't working. The earliest symptom report. Hyperfocus on the injustice of the current administration is a stress trigger. When I first realized this might be back I stepped away from a lot of the news. Yesterday I went through the list of places that were sending me political emails (many substack accounts found through doomscrolling activity) and unsubscribed 3/4 them to start pacing myself better. Then I went to work in the garden.

This week I have to do some sewing. I need to get back to working the jigsaw puzzles and listening to audiobooks. Resume activities that were put on hold on January 20. I suspect I'm the last to see this as the logical answer; you're all very patient with my ramblings. :-/
