Thank you for your posting. I don't know what GCA is. Do you ever feel that your doctor has diagnosed you with PMR because he/she isn't really sure what you have going on and PMR is just a "catch all" disease to categorize you with?

No. My doctor is pretty well up to date. My mothet had pmr as well so I know that’s what I have. GCA (giant cell arteritis) is present in 20% of those with PMR. You should google it.
What are your symptoms?
