Question about PMR in addition to other autoimmune disorders?

I was diagnosed with SLE in 1985. That went into remission in 1987 when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In 1989 I was treated for Hasimoto's. In 2003 I had a mastectomy for DCIS and Paget's. Now I have been diagnosed with PMR. I haven't had them at the same time but YES my body is definitely on "autoimmune pilot " 🥴

Now that is quite a collection of things. How did your doctor distinguish one thing from another?

After awhile, my rheumatologist started to refer to everything as "systemic inflammation." She thought I was an interesting patient because I had a "full range" of rheumatology problems.
