Polymyalgia Rhuematica

I saw a Rhuematologist a couple of weeks ago and she mentioned that I might have Polymyalgia Rhuematica. I looked it up and  it makes sense. I have all the symptoms including giant cell arthritis. Steroid treatment is the only route. I've been on prednisone and am feeling much better. I'll write more about it later. I'm kinda tired right now.

Update:
I couldn't tolerate the prednisone. It made me a psychotic. I'm on piroxicam now. It's not as effective for pain as prednisone but better than nothing.
