After seeing my rheumatologist, she says I have seronegative LORA probably overlapping with PMR. Yes, definitely unfair. But one bright spot is that I am already on low-dose Remicade (inflixamab), which keeps my Crohn’s disease in remission, which is also used to treat RA. So that will be the next step if RA symptoms don’t subside.

----------------------
Remicade is a TNF inhibitor and may not work for PMR. I'm not saying Remicade won't work but the research into TNF-inhibitors for the treatment of PMR hasn't been promising.

That is the problem when a person has multiple autoimmune disorders --- what one works for one autoimmune disorder might not work for the other autoimmune disorder.
