PMR with normal blood markers

So...before I wrote this on this forum, I made a phone appointment with the MC so I could speak to someone about this...Guess what?
They just called me a bit ago and informed ( as I understood it) me that due to the amount of patients they have, they will not be able to service me...ever....hmmm.
The female that I spoke to on this call sounded like she was a bill collector...you know the type. I'm a disabled Vet and on Medicare...so what I see is that Medicare won't cover the $146.000.00 they are going to charge them for them to say that they can't help a fellow human being that is having a bad medical problem...BY PHONE ! all I want is them to tell me where I should turn to next for my problem, not to give me a heart transplant. So...to say the least...I will never come back to this site orrr ever have any respect for the Mayo Clinic ever again. If they don't want any more patients over the phone...SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM ONLIN ON THE WEBSITE !!

@johnlo, I can understand your disappointment in not being able to get an appointment at Mayo Clinic. Unfortunately in some departments, the clinic gets more requests for appointments than there is availability. It sounds like this is the case for the department in which you were seeking care.

I've moved your question about PMR with normal blood markers to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/polymyalgia-rheumatica-pmr/
