Why did he not think you had PMR? And have you since been diagnosed with it by someone else?

PMR is not supposed to last 30 years. It is only supposed to last 1 to 5 years at most for the vast majority of people. There are exceptions and it does last longer or at least people take Prednisone for longer than 5 years.
I started wondering if I still had PMR after 10 years but my rheumatologist said I did. My rheumatologist also said that I was "too young" and "too healthy" to take Prednisone for the rest of my life. Fortunately we found an alternative to prednisone that seems to work well.
