I read your response and wanted to let you know my husband was on 12.5 mg prednisone for PMR when he developed a very severe case of GCA.

I hope and pray I don't develop GCA, but it seems quite common in people who have PMR. At least I know what symptoms to watch out for. I don't have a rheumatologist but my GP asked me when I first saw him for my PMR symptoms if I was also having any headaches, so he must be aware of the possibility of GCA.
