Precursor symptoms to PMR?

My first Rhematologist dismissed me and told me I wasn’t the normal after 2 months, see a neurologist, and he left me in pain. The neurologist said is definitely a Rhematology problem.
The second rheumatologist said I didn’t see you on the onset so he labeled me as sero- negative arthritis.
But I know from my onset it’s PMR. I go from 6 mg to 11 when I have a flare. Trying to ween off it, but every time something stressful happens and I have a flare. Wish I could get a chance to go to 5 mg

I'm quite anxious about my first appointment tomorrow, I hope she's knowledgeable and will be helpful. I keep hearing stories about PMR being misdiagnosed or inadequately treated. Hope you're able to wean down further
