The way I tell the difference between PMR and arthritis is that PMR is, for me, bi-lateral pain in my hips and shoulder girdles with fatigue for NO reason. Arthritis pain is more related to specific joints and muscles not generalized and not bi-lateral. I don't think of arthritis as associated fatigue but pain. I would love to hear from others about this distinction in my mind.

I would agree @jfannarbor . I have both and my PMR after 2 yrs is diminishing and now the polyarthritis is kicking in. Arthritis Tylenol helps as I am down to 2.5 mg of Prednisone 5 days, soon to reduce to wkly. I feel my PMR lingers a little because for no reason I get fatigued. Good luck everyone!
