I think you should check out out if your network options if you haven’t. The longer you delay treatment the more difficult it is to get it under control- this is a long process. And when you get the tapering point that’s equally long. From everything I’ve researched if you ever get back to any normal it’s a new normal. Like maybe 80% of how you were prior to PMR. And don’t you wonder where this came from? And the numbers seem to be rising. 🤔

I’m quite sure I know what triggered it in me. I have had 3 lumbar surgeries and cervical surgery since 2010. Those triggered chronic pain syndrome which turned to chronic inflammation. Thus, PMR. I’ve also had ankle surgery, brain surgery, and hand surgery. My health in the last 11 years has nose dived as the PMR continued to get worse. Doctors all blamed Chronic Pain Syndrome instead of asking why it continued to get worse.
My Medicare will cover any doctor who accepts Medicare, there are just no Rheumatologists within 200 miles of me!
