@glinda47, It's not uncommon for a misdiagnosis of PMR. There are a lot of conditions with similar symptoms that mimic PMR.

This is an easier read for how PMR is diagnosed.

Thanks, John...I'll take a look.
I may have read these already. I feel like that's all I do anymore. Already planning where I'll go when I have a heart attack or stroke. Seems like that happens to a lot of PMR folks, either from the inflammation, steroids or things we don't even know about.
