@boomermeg thanks for the advice and kind words. Been there, done that often over the last 12 yrs. Took 6 months to get diagnosed even after telling pcp that both parents had PMR and I was certain I did too. Finally demanded referral to Rheumy who agreed. I’m definitely googling hepcidin! It took years to get pred down to 8 mgs; spent 3 yrs at 5mgs; currently at 6. But Rheumy keeps asking me to taper down. Every taper ends in a flare and back up higher just to start over
