@grammy 82 - you give good uplifting messages! Sebastian Unizony, MD who was on the Sarilumab Trial is also at MGH.
Might I ask you - have you ever gone down the path of looking into advocacy through Rare Disease patient groups ?? It all came together for me today - PMR is a rare disease! In USA there is NORD, for example.

A good friend responded to my PMR news today saying she was sorry to hear " although sometimes having a diagnosis helps you understand what treatments are out there" YES ! And my former boss gave me a good pep talk today about being on Prednisone - jeesh, he has gout !! -Which sounds awful.

@nyxygirl
I saw your message before I saw this. I'd be very interested in helping in anyway possible. We suffer from a lack of information about these diseases and alternatives for people in getting the best treatment possible.

I'm curious...is the boss yea or nay on the prednisone? We all know the side effects but also the alternatives. I'm interested.

Life is rather rushed now because I'm heading to Canada to see my granddaughter graduate from high school with honors....and then to Maine to visit my old buds.

Please keep me on your radar...I'll be back July 11 but will be around until June 22. OH!! I miss my forums.
