Hi John , yes he believes many people are given the diagnoses too quickly and in an ideal world we should see a Rheumatologist in the first instant . He hasn’t ruled out PMR but he wants to make sure there is no underlying problem . He feels after 8 months I am now heavily Steroid dependant and wants to make sure my Adrenal glands are not completely destroyed .
If there is no response to the test he will take advice from the Endocrinologist.
I have a 15 year history of vague episodes of fatigue and achey body it’s possible , apparently , my Adrenals have been under par for many years . I am otherwise “very heathy “ all my bloods are within normal range. He has tested for all sorts of autoimmune issues.
Unfortunately this thing is not straight forward as we all know.
