PMR and different medication options

I had an appointment with a rheumatologist yesterday.
6 years ago I started using Prednisone for very bad joint pain and morning stiffness.
This rheumatologist prescribed methotrexate 15 mg, last September and I told her that it had some effect on my small joints like fingers and toes and I had managed to reduce the prednisone to 10 mg. I questioned if I could have rheumatic arthritis, since my small joints also are affected.

She didn’t care about any of my symptoms, the effect or my flair ups -the only focus is quit use steroids..

I tried to explain that I started use Prednisone because of bad inflammation in my bursae’s-in my joints, not general pain.
She told me that I probably have fibromyalgia, even if I’m tested for that and don’t have the sensitivity or the muscle pain, related to that.

Because of a childhood accident I am diagnosed with Complex regional pain syndrome type 2, not fibromyalgia. I also have classic Ehler Danlos.

I do understand the side effects of using prednisone. It’s sad that the morning stiffness and the horrible pain in the joints force you to use steroids, but so far there are no other treatments for PMR, since the only medication that are approved and have effect are corticosteroids, Methotrexate and Kevzara.

Since she has ordered blood tests for Lupus and Lyme disease I will have one more appointment, but after that I probably will not return to her. I just don’t see the point in having appointments with doctors that don’t listen to the patient.
