Where do you live? I feel so bad for you. Thank God I have a young Kaiser PCP that knew it wasn't just "old lady stiffness". I suggested PMR first but he jumped on it and ran tons of blood test. Eveything normal except CRP was 98. In my 3rd week of pred and starting a slow taper next week. It's a lifesaver!

I’m near Philadelphia. I’ve been to 7 drs already . All of my levels are normal because I’m currently on hydrocortisone but I still feel awful. My next appointment is with University of Pennsylvania group that specializes in PMR and maybe an endocrinologist….
I was lucky enough to score a low dose of prednisone to last 30 days
