Yes! There is very little on this topic! My husband has had PMR and GCA for two years. I was just diagnosed with PMR. Very weird.

This is a very interesting discussion. I had not been aware of any PMR in my family prior to my diagnosis but my cousin was diagnosed at approximately the same time and we have both had hip, shoulder, and hand pain. She is older than I am but our severity has been about the same. My DNA revealed 6 % Norwegian heritage and the rest of my DNA is primarily African and Caribbean. I remain intrigued about potential links to PMR and look forward to remission! ❤️
