@USSONAR_Rh @MymaAlbaydaMD
Agree: MSUS should be part of rheum training for all https://t.co/UNPpAA1p0V

@RheumNow PMR Mythbusters:
we polled Aussie🇦🇺 rheumatologists
How did those motivated enough to answer a PMR/GCA survey fare?
Myth: PMR is only proximal
- not bad
Myth: PMR needs ⬆️ESR/CRP
- a bit of work
Time to #MakeRheumForPMR

These US Medicare data show us what we've all suspected:
PMR patients stuck on steroid get the fractures, heart attacks, & infections that land them in hospital.
And it costs $$$
Hopefully PMR steroid-sparing Rx can change this!
