Thank you!

I'm all about that "Fire your Rheumatologist"; been there done that last month. But---for me, when I did that and received another referral from my primary submitting to my Medicare Advantage type Insurance, am now on a list that is Taboo. I received a referral to be informed that the doctor is no longer accepting new patients. The original, 1st referral never called and would not return call for an appt. The one seen Aug 8th that mentioned biopsy for GCA, mentioned a regimen for treatment of the PMR along with an initial dose of 40-60mg Prednisone, P/T, and massive amount (23) blood tests; never followed through with anything until last week with a 30 day dose of 10mg Prednisone, once daily. Appointment with that one Oct. 14th if they still recognize the appt? I found many Rheumatologist in town, only 2 on my current insurance plan, with others being way out of any possible visit costs. I would suggest a thorough check of cost for your new choices before committing.
