Hi Kate @nowforyou, Sorry to hear you are still struggling to get a diagnosis. There are quite a few conditions that mimic PMR and share similar symptoms. Here's an article that might shed some light.
--- Diseases that mimic polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR): https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/diseases-that-mimic-polymyalgia-rheumatica.

You are not alone and there are several discussions where members have questions similar to yours that you might want to scan through to see if any are the same.

Good morning John,

Wow, I am beside myself with the amount of information You have sent, thank you so very much! I've opened up every single one of your links and videos into separate tabs and I will watch them and read the information before my appointment Wednesday.

Thanks again for everything you do on this website and your volunteer mentoring.
Kate
