its very frustrating to hear one doctor tell me he does not think I have PMR and another tells me I do . I am taking Advil every day and do not get relief from the pain until early afternoon, I have also noticed my eyes become very sore. I have been resistant to go back on the prendnisone

@cara7 Have you seen a rheumatologist or thought about getting another opinion?
@marymv My PMR is currently in remission but the only bad side effect I had was the second day after my 2nd Pfizer shot. I had extreme fatigue that lasted all day.
