@ess77 I was also diagnosed with GCA about 100 days after I had Covid (1st time). I was wondering whether Covid was the trigger. There is a scientific article written about an increase in GCA diagnoses during the pandemic in Bath, England, but the sample size was too small to establish a statistical relationship. Did anyone else get GCA after having Covid?

@purplebike Interesting, I did get GCA after Covid. I always thought Covid, or the Covid vaccination, had something to do with it.
