Is it true that PMR only last one year? I have had it off and one for 30 years and each time prednisone was immediate relief. As I noted in previous posts I have been on and off prednisone maybe 20 times. Currently my rheumatologist doesn't think I have PMR. He thinks it is spondylo arthritis. Although I am drugs for arthritis the most important drug I take is Tylenol 1000 mg 3X/d. I went on that by accident when I had a tooth extracted and started taking Tylenol. It helped my PMR / arthritic pain a lot.

What type of spondyloarthritis does your rheumatologist think you have?
While there are overlapping features of the various types of spondyloarthritis, the types of spondyloarthritis include:
Ankylosing spondylitis.
Axial spondyloarthritis.
Enteropathic spondyloarthritis.
Peripheral spondyloarthritis.
Psoriatic arthritis.
Reactive arthritis.
It is possible to have PMR in addition to spondyloarthritis. My rheumatolosgist says it is "unfortunate" when that happens.
