I was dx with PMR at the University of Michigan about 30 years ago. I have seen 4 rheumatologists since that time. 3 at UM and one in Palm Springs, CA. The third one I saw in Palm Springs, CA, did a very complete physical and lab exam and in the end he said he didn't think I have PMR, but didn't know what I did have. The last rheumatologist at UM doesn't think I have PMR. He thinks it is some form of spondylitis or spondylosis. I doubt if this clarifies anything. Yes, PMR is difficult to dx and treat.
