Do I really have PMR?

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

@dmoonchild I waited six weeks for proper treatment because my blood work is normal. It turns out that is true for about 20% of us. The other way you diagnose PMR is to prescribe prednisone and if it works to eliminate pain, you've got it.
