It was very aggravating. I feel we're on the right path now with our new rheumatologist, new endocrinologist and physical therapist. They're all connected through our medical plan so they can see what the other is saying, tests they're ordering, results etc. Which has proven very helpful.

I'm sorry to hear you keep getting symptoms if you go under 10 mg but prednisone can be a lifesaver and a necessary evil. It's good you know about the bone issue with this drug so you can try to avoid your osteoporosis from getting worse because of it. Good luck!! I think you should find a rheumatologist for the PMR. Do you have an endocrinologist for your osteoporosis?

I'm only seeing my GP and my naturopath for my PMR and osteoporosis. I'd be on a loooong waiting list for any rheumatologists or endocrinologists in my area -- if they're even taking new patients at all.

I'm glad you're on the right track now with your husband. He's lucky to have you to advocate and fight for him!
