John, just a question about GCA. You said in a post that you were tested. Any reason, or just out of caution. I guess with all the reading I have been doing since getting the PMR diagnosis, I have found something else to worry about. Thanks

I think my doctor tested me because the second time my PMR came back he was new to the family clinic (I get a new doc every 2 years or so) and was not familiar with my health record so asked me a few questions and thought I should be tested for GCA based on having some tenderness in my scalp and temples.
