Find a new rheumatologist for sure! I had an experience similar to yours and in hindsight I wish I had bailed earlier! My first rheumatologist was like a bad mechanic throwing large doses of prednisone at me while my current rheumatologist is fantastic helping me navigate the nuances of PMR.

I have an appointment with my PCP on MOnday, and I"m hoping she can either suggest a different rheumatologist, or convince me to stay put for awhile. It amazes me - I had never heard of PMR until I was diagnosed with it. I've seen two doctors - my PCP and my rheumy regarding this disease I have, and both of them talk and act as though I should be an expert in this matter. No direction!! I've never seen anything like this. Thank you for your encouragement!
