Welcome to the community @cathyj
By PMR do you mean Polymyalgia rheumatica? If so there is information here on the Arthritis Website.
Have you looked at the benefits calculator to see if you could be entitled to any support? You could also try the PIP self test.
Is your work being supportive? Have you looked into reasonable adjustments?0 -
Welcome to the community @cathyj thank you for sharing this with us. How are you doing today? I am sorry to hear you have been finding it stressful. Have you spoken to your manager or HR about this and see if there's any support they can offer you?
Please have a read through our page on managing stress at work.
Best wishes.
