Some people would say a rapid response to Prednisone confirms the diagnosis of PMR. This may be true if all the other diagnostic possibilities have been ruled out. However, there are literally hundreds of conditions that may respond rapidly to Prednisone.

You have been M.I.A. lately. How are things going?
