@johnbishop my rheumatologist, after one year of steroid treatment, has claimed I do not have PMR. All my numbers are still slightly elevated and I have recurring symptoms, but she insists I do not have PMR. My pcp, her pa, the hematologist/oncologists all agree I have PMR. Because I also have digestive issues she is blaming all issues on my gut!

I am so disgusted and can’t help but wonder if her dismissing me is ageism. She sent me to the emergency room and I definitely experienced ageism there!
