I had al the symptoms of PMR but my rheumatologist told me that she could only give a diagnosis of PMR after a PET scan where you can see inflammation in almost every joint area. Which was the case..
Then she put me on 15mg prednisolon 2 weeks ago. Now I still have sore/weak wrists and fingers. Maybe you can ask to get a PET scan too? I live in Belgium.

well I am completely frustrated, She has ordered a MRI of the abdomin and brain……which is next to impossible to schedule!

I will have one in March but I need a good rheumatologist!
