My rheumatologist actually made my diagnosis but I honestly didn’t believe him despite my symptoms of sudden onset hip & shoulder pain with low grade temperatures and extreme fatigue. I was also anemic and my inflammatory markers were crazy high. I don’t have a positive family history for PMR but my 90+ year old Mom & Sister both have symptoms and are working with rheumatologist now so I will not be surprised with their diagnosis. My rheumatologist told me that he had never treated another African American patient that he had diagnosed with PMR. I wondered at the time how many diagnoses are missed because of race/ethnicity.
