Is everyone here diagnosed with PMR seeing a rheumatologist?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Jun 20, 2023 | Replies (103)Comment receiving replies
Both my PCP and rheumatologist agree that it is possible to have normal inflammatory tests and still be PMR. I think the key is the specific symptomolgy of PMR... Rhuematologist said 1-3 yrs usual course...but some have it for much longer ( I did not want to hear that)........ I am hanging in there , doing the best I can and hope it resolves.....

Hanging in there and doing the best you can.....are two of our best friends. We know we manage a disease like this to the best of our ability....but it is still boss. Be kind to yourself !💞

I have had all the classic symptoms, except of course the blood tests. It was so bad initially that I thought I wouldn't survive. And nobody knew what it was. I have read 1-2 years and was hopeful, then I saw 1-3. It is 3 years next month for me but I am so much better. I am still planning on it going away and hope yours does too.
