I'm not sure if you saw them but the article did have a great list of questions to ask your doctor related to your symptoms and whether or not it's PMR.

- Could these symptoms be due to another condition?
- What tests will you perform to find out the cause?
- Do I need to do anything to prepare for the tests?
- How reliable are the test results?
- If I have PMR, what are the best treatments?
- Are there lifestyle changes I need to make to relieve the symptoms?

It sounds like you have a great PA, have you thought about seeking a second opinion with a rheumatologist?
