Having practiced yoga for more than thirty years, Audrey Pearson
had always felt fit, strong, and flexible. Then one day in October
of 2004, she awoke to flu-like symptoms, unable to move her limbs.
These symptoms never decreased and only inflated. She was diagnosed
with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), a mysterious autoimmune disease;
and was treated with the steroid drug Prednisone.
Written in diary format, My Four-Year PMR & Prednisone
Challenge describes Pearson's daily struggle not only with the
disease but with managing steroid treatment and her painful journey
of withdrawing from Prednisone use. She attributes her successful
recovery to her long-term practice of yoga, a gentle way to
optimize the flow of life energy to help a person feel their
personal best at any given time. The yoga practices helped her
understand the counterintuitive healing purpose of the presence of
the autoimmune disease in her life.
Though the four-year experience was difficult, Pearson realized
that PMR was an important and strict teacher who arrived at her
door to teach her tolerance and acceptance. In My Four-Year PMR
& Prednisone Challenge, Pearson relates how PMR and Prednisone
withdrawal was tolerated, embraced, and experienced as an
opportunity for personal and spiritual transformation.
