New to PMR - Are Monthly Labs and Check-ups normal?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Aug 11, 2023 | Replies (71)Comment receiving replies
I have been seeing my rheumatologist every month and having labs done at every visit since May of last year. Just last month I was able to skip one visit. I
am scheduled to see her again in April so I will see how it goes from here.

Why monthly visits? Is it for labs? I usually have my PC order labs about every 4 months to check on my inflammation levels. I have a new Rheumy who ordered labs to determine if I really have PMR. Her main certain for me was GCA. So far, no need for predisone. I pray it stays that way. I highly recommend aquatic therapy. That did it for me.
