My husband's entire body aches, he has joint stiffness. These issues disappeared within an hour's time with his first dose of prednisone. He also has an elevated CPK level which, from what I understand, is not a symptom of PMR. This is the issue that concerns us and makes us think that PMR may not be a correct diagnosis.....

If prednisone works, it’s pmr. The high cpk level is probably a separate problem. It can mean hypothyroidism, someone takes statins or has an autoimmune condition( like pmr)
