Hi @maye,
I was on prednisone for a year and a half, off it a year, and then I relapsed. Back on prednisone, almost for a year. Now I'm down to 2 mg.
The second time with GCA, my symptoms were somewhat different from the first go round so I didn't recognize it at first.
Are you the first one in your family to get it?
My maternal Aunt had it, and my mother-in-law as well!
I'm glad you've had a quick recovery.
All the Best!

Hey @tsc
Oh genetic aspect of autoimmune diseases. Hadn’t thought of that .
I’m the only one in the family with pmr/GCA .

You had different GCA symptoms with relapse ?
I’m hyper vigilant to any symptoms of possible relapse.
Wondering therefore what your different relapse symptoms were ?
Because mine were quite minimal, probably sub clinical, until the night sweats started . That was the big red flag that sent me running to the Dr .
