Not all that surprising. While the sed rate and c-reactive protein are excellent indicators of PMR, they are not absolute. Almost weekly I read on this forum and another forum from people who have the same circumstance as you. The hard part is sometimes the person has a doctor or rheumy who insists it can't be PMR because these markers are normal. It absolutely can be.

Thanks! And the speed at which I'm recovering to me is a pretty clear indication that it's PMR. Also the suddeness and intensity with which it first appeared.

Thank you all for being here.
