Looking for a Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) rheumatologist in Chicago or surrounding areas. My husband has a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Symptoms appear to align more with PMR than RA. Any help is appreciated. ~ thank you in advance!
Would anyone know of a rheumatologist who specializes in Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) in Illinois?

I would like to know this also for Virginia or North Carolina. None of the three rheumatologists I have gone to in Southwest Virginia know how to deal with long-term PMR. It is a form of vasculitis, and it is difficult to find any type of doctor to take it seriously.

Patients and doctors in the United Kingdom appear to be ahead of us in the US with understanding of PMR and giant cell arteritis. You can access a great deal of useful information and support from their website at HealthUnlocked by joining the free forum called PMRGCAuk.
