My concern is that while this diagnosis is sometimes missed, it is often overdiagnosed and the patient ends up on long term steroid treatment with multiple side effects.

Maybe that’s changing?

Das Wissen um diese Zustände hält mich seit 7 Jahren davon ab, an Demos teilzunehmen, hindert mich daran, mein Recht wahrzunehmen. Ich könnte z.B. bei Reizgaseinsätzen nicht schnell genug aus der Gefahrenzone weggehen ...

Blick aus der Gondel auf verlassene Bergweiden, im Mittelgrund ein Wald, dahinter unten knapp erkennbar die Enden des Thuner- und Brienzersees. Im Hintergrund Alpen. Es is teilweise bewölkt Fund. Blick auf den Fels, ein Oval von verwelkenden bunten Blüten liegt darauf. Offenbar hat da oben jemand ein Ritual durchgeführt. Im Hintergrund ein Teil des Sigriswiler Grates und die Sichel. Weit geht es runter. Im Vordergrund rechts eine Frau mit Schirmmütze kniend vor dem Abgrund mit dem Handy in der Hand. Blick ins Tal und rüber wieder hoch zum Sigriswilergrat.

A life of PolymyalgiaRheumatica, steroids and paracetamol is what happens when your immune system forgets what its purpose is; sort of like some politicians. I still use the semi;colon.

Can #PolymyalgiaRheumatica occur with normal ESR and CRP?
🔥A timely update by Ciro Manzo
👉https://doi.org/10.5114/reum/218505
reminds us that seronegative PMR is a real clinical entity.
When clinical suspicion is high, ultrasound and/or 18F-FDG PET/CT can be crucial for diagnosis.

#PolymyalgiaRheumatica (PMR) is a condition that causes muscle pain and stiffness, particularly in the shoulders, neck, hips, and thighs. It primarily affects adults over the age of 50 and can be quite debilitating if left untreated.
