New to PMR - Are Monthly Labs and Check-ups normal?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Aug 11, 2023 | Replies (71)Comment receiving replies
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.

It was very difficult to get my PMR under control- several flares. Only recently was able to decrease. Hopeful won’t have to go every month. When I started this journey she let me know I would be seeing her monthly until I got under control. Two months ago she added Kevzara to try snd get methylprednisolone dose lower. Very anxious to see her this month and see if the methylprednisolone can be lowered
