Has anyone ever told you that being diagnosed with RA doesn't exclude the possibility of also having PMR?

Wasn't your son diagnosed with reactive arthritis which creates additional possibilities? He got his genes from somewhere. Have you been tested for HLA-B27?

Being positive for HLA-B27 didn't make it any easier to be treated but it was nice to know about. My rheumatologist actually told me it would be impossible to adequately treat everything.
