Short answer: Yes, unfortunately.
My dad has PMR, and at the moment I don’t believe he has fibromyalgia.
Longer answer and context: But I have seronegative spondyloarthropathy (a different autoimmune inflammatory arthritis), POTS, hyper mobility spectrum disorder, small fiber neuropathy, and central sensitivity syndrome.
The last diagnosis to come was fibromyalgia.
I can’t remember if I mentioned it already in this thread or if it was another one, but the physician who diagnosed me (at Mayo) explained it’s thought to be common with these chronic pain conditions because the long, enduring pain, with the potentially long time it takes to diagnose, treat, and relieve can trigger changes in the way the central nervous system processes pain—resulting in fibromyalgia.
Do you think you have fibro too?
I have been diagnosed with both conditions.
