PMR without ever taking prednisone

The rheumatologist I saw in 2023 said I have fibromyalgia but I don't have the right symptoms. I have all the symptoms of PMR instead. That was in Tucson and I have moved to Gilbert since. I saw pc dr yesterday.
I just got my blood tests results and everything is negative.I’m trying to get an appt with rheumatologist. I don’t know what is wrong with me. So much pain and my legs are so weak. I can’t believe the test are neg for inflammation.

It is very surprising that you haven't been trialled on a dose of prednisone as that should be part of the diagnostic routine in hard to diagnose cases of PMR. Some people's CRP and ESR rates just don't change, but PMR will respond quickly to the appropriate dose of prednisone and from what I have read fibromyalgia doesn't.
