Thank you.
Interesting because a lot of people with pmr have gca. I’m glad it helped you. Mine attack I think was brought on from the first 2 COVID vaccines. Wish I never got them. I have a few other autoimmune diseases.
Stay well and have a happy healthy lidat season 🤗

"Interesting because a lot of people with pmr have gca."

That was basically why my rheumatologist wanted to try Actemra even though I was never diagnosed with GCA. For me to get Actemra for PMR, it needed to go through an approval process. The determination was that I should be treated with Actemra "as if" I had GCA.

At the time my rheumatologist was very excited about the research being done with Actemra to treat GCA patients.
