Use of a sauna with PMR

Thanks, John. I had never heard of either disease until I lost vision in my right eye. At most I’ve had mild symptoms for GCA and inflammation markers were only mildly elevated. The ER docs thought I’d had a stroke, but the ophthalmologist recommended temporal biopsy, which came back positive for GCA. I’ve been tracking other symptoms regarding PMR for my next meeting with my rheumatologist. I’m tapering down on prednisone and I take once weekly actemra injections.

Thank you @richer for this post. Before loosing sight what were your symptoms? Did you regain your sight with treatment? I do hope so and send you warm wishes for a full recovery.
