My husband is under the care of 3 doctors and is being treated with 15mg of prednisone for over a week for polymyalgia rheumatica. His symptoms have only improved a little and I m very concerned. He has extreme bone pain in his knee area, extreme night sweats, low grade fever always, had a trunkal rash and has had a dry hacking cough. His sed rate is high, neutro s high, lymphos low WBC high Rbc low neut absolute high and will be seeing his rheumatologist again tomorrow. He saw PC today. With the rash and cough sounds more like Giant Cell and if so his dose seems low to me. Also could this be leukemia and what tests should we make sure he gets? Thank you....this has been a very long month and a very slow process for us....Jo
