Is everyone here diagnosed with PMR seeing a rheumatologist?

My GP gave me an immediate diagnosis that I had PMR after blood work. I went home and googled all I could about it and watched all YouTube videos available and knew her diagnosis was right on. She had patients with it and has updated info through her patients who see rheumatologists. So I have felt satisfied staying with her. This group has been extremely helpful. After about 20 months on prednisone I have finally weaned off of it and I have been off of it for a month now. So far so good.

I also started my PMR journey with my Internist. She’s very knowledgeable regarding this condition and I have total confidence in her. It’s a process balancing exercise, dosage levels, and pain/stiffness management (physical therapy did wonders for me) I was diagnosed in March of 2023 and so far I’m tapering at a good pace.
