This post is now almost 2 years old, but this 2011 study #22057203 on pubmed did show a correlation between PMR and stroke. PMR patients were twice as likely to have a stroke when compared to control group.

Hello @jproctor, Welcome to Connect. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe. Here is the study you mentioned in your post:

Polymyalgia rheumatica and the risk of stroke: a three-year follow-up study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22057203/

My PMR is currently in remission. Do you also have PMR?
