@kjoed53 Saw my rheumatologist today and she doesn’t think it’s pmr or costochondritis, although my inflammation markers are high again. Going back up to 5 mg/day and having chest x-rays done to be followed with appt with my primary.Would love to get some answers.

My rheumatologist wasn't convinced of his PMR diagnosis and still isn't, but because I responded to prednisone he is saying that PMR is the most probable. It doesn't rule out there being a secondary issue though so that's the direction my journey is now taking. After I see the hematologist, hopefully I'll have more answers.

Are there any blood results that indicate a hematologist should take a look? My rheumatologist is concerned that I may have MGUS so he has referred me to a friend of his in hematology.
