@stonewheel I've since then been re-diagnosed from PMR to connective tissue disease, with lupus and vasculitis featuring. Symptoms are the same and treatment is almost the same. PMR is itself a connective tissue condition.

It takes a while to get diagnostic pronouncements from the rheumatologist with appointments 6mths apart. Like you I'm now on the blood thinner Eliquis indefinitely, with a history of sporadic thrombosis events over 40yrs, and a diagnosis of chronic thrombosis last year which had been obvious to me for decades. It also fits with vasculitis.
