Getting PMR doesn’t mean you’ll get GCA. Most people don’t. Unfortunately my husband did. Have you had your inflammation levels checked? Those were the labs they first did to diagnose him with PMR. Hopefully you won’t have it. I don’t know if his reaction to prednisone is common. For him it seems to rev up his metabolism and causes weight loss where for most people it causes some weight gain. I wish you the best.

I did have my inflammatory markers measured and saw the results online. They were normal but 2nd round were higher. I want to have them tested again next week along with some more labs including CBD and some auto -immune tests .
Thanks for the kind, comforting words.
Do hope your husband is off these drugs soon.
Best to both of you.
