I really identify with your comments. I’ve been diagnosed with PMR last Summer after a period of trauma and change in circumstances. I was then put on 15g Prednisone and felt immediately better. But trying to taper off this medication is quite complicated I am now on 7mg over several months and have experienced really low moods and continued probs with shoulder and hip, just enough to annoy! I also have had RA for many years and am on Methotrexate successfully for this condition. It’s frustrating that my Drs surgery deals with the PMR and a rheumatologist at hospital the RA and I feel that’s not helped. As you say there is no definitive test to completely prove PMR and I want to stop taking Prednisone quicker than I’m at right now as long term use is bad. I wish you well and that things will be smooth going forward. It’s so good to share with others and realise there are many folk on this weird journey and we’re not alone. Best wishes 🤞
