Diagnosed with PMR 16 days ago.

The labs should be repeated. Sed rate and CRP with
an autoimmune battery if not already checked.
Have your PCP get you in with a rheumatologist soon.
Know your results and plan to be proactive about side effects with prednisone.

I don’t understand why a person who has PMR would need to see a rheumatologist
I am on my 3rd time with PMR in 12 years and my PCP advised my care . Took 9 months each time to wean off the predisone

Just got back from my doctor ( 3 July) Going for blood work tomorrow morning before my next prednisone 30 mg dose. Depending on how this next 2 weeks goes I suspect my doctor will do the referral. He kind of mentioned it today. Thanks.
