My mom was diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica

I need help navigating this. My mom is in her 60s and lives on her own. We are in the same town but she lives alone. She goes to work and goes home.

She was recently diagnosed at the same time with type 2 Diabetes and PMR. She’s been in pain for MONTHS and hidden it until I’ve been able to see she literally has lost mobility with walking. And even then it took over a month of me bullying to get her to finally go to the doctor.

I love her so much. But she is stubborn and prideful. She’s been on medication for a few weeks and has not had any improvement in her pain at all. My entire life she has always been the strongest person I’ve ever known and she knows that. I think right now, she just feels weak and that her body literally will not function. The pain she feels is severely impacting her mobility and I feel completely helpless on what to do to help.

What are things your family members do to help support you? What are things you wish they had done differently? What are the things that have helped your paid in meds aren’t? What can I do when she won’t ask for help but I know she needs it? I love my mom but I don’t know how to fix this.
