An interesting question occurred to me based on this post. I wonder how many people who have achieved remission actually stick around afterwards and keep posting on the forum. One of the biggest motivations for me to follow the forum is to learn about the diseases (PMR and GCA) and their treatments. I want to know what to expect, what the typical problems are, etc. Other motivations are to help other people and to feel less alone, since going through PMR and or GCA can be an isolating experience. So the motivation to be on the forum after remission would be a little different than before.
