Hi Terri. I’m in Central Oregon and have been diagnosed with PMR since 8/24, currently on only Prednisone, tapering incrementally 20mg to 9.5. I am very happy with my rheumatologist, Dr. Kahr, who is in Bend, OR. Good luck

Kahr denied my referrals (2 of them from 2 different docs). He “diagnosed” me 8 years ago with Fibromyalgia without running any tests. Then I was referred back 3 years ago and he got upset with me because he “already diagnosed you 5 years ago with FM”. I don’t know if he refused the referral because he has made up his mind it’s FM, or because he’s way over loaded. He was not kind to me 3 years ago. Now we KNOW that the pain wasn’t FM, but PMR, I’m at a loss for help. The pred is giving me other problems now as I ended up in the ER last night. I’ll start a different discussion about that!
