@marciai
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.

@kjoed53 and I'm in that category re: both PMR and GCA.

@kjoed53 Getting definite answers is challenging when there seem to be so many things that can cause inflammation and pain as we age. With the increase in my inflammation markers I’m also in the “PMR most probable” category.
