I live in Annapolis and also looking for a PMR specialist.
Prednisone therapy and Actemera did not work and my doctor basically gave up.

Anywhere in DC/Baltimore region or nearby Eastern Shore.
I was hoping for Johns Hopkins but it is not working out.
Thanks!

Check out my previous reply to original poster. My rheumatologist won't give up. I have other illnesses which severely limit what type of medications I can take. While I haven't been able to taper off prednisone as of yet, I am on a relatively low dose (5 mgs) - was originally on 15. And I am not in pain.
