I am curious about whether people’s rheumatologists suspect RA in addition to PMR when Methotrexate is used. That is my situation, because I have a lot of stiffness and some hand pain. My rheumatoid factor labs were negative when I was diagnosed with PMR last January, and it would not be helpful to recheck them now, she says. Not sure why.
