I'm being seen by a Nurse Practitioner to a rheumatologist. When I told her of the PubMed studies, she wasn't aware and suggested I see the rheumatologist she works under, but can't get appt till October. I've considered getting a second opinion if I can get an appt with someone else. My main physician did other tests and ruled out Lupus and Fibromyalgia. Thanks for the article - will read now.

Hi. Was diagnosed June 2018. CRP and sed rate normal at every checkup. I understand 20% of pmr patients have normal readings. After one bad flare and too rapid prednisone tapering, I’m now on 12.5 mg. When taper starts from here, it’s going to be small increments and very slowly. Found there is a lot to learn about this disease . Wish you well.
