Sorry to hear you lost so much vision from GCA, Bob -- that must have been so scary. Like PMR, I believe GCA is also caused by inflammation. I'm trying to do everything I can to minimize inflammation in my body through diet, supplements, stress relief, etc., even though I am also taking prednisone for PMR, but currently working at tapering down my dosage.
