I have had pmr and GCA for 8 years and am now down to 7 mg of prednisone and trying to get down to 5. However 6 months ago I was Diagnosed with JAK2 polycythemia. Does anyone else on this forum have this condition and is it linked to PMR? I can't find anyone who can give me the answers.

There is thought to be a link with a history of autoimmune disorders, yes:

Ask your doctors to explain this to you - it is hard read if you aren't a medical scientist!
Many thanks for your reply. It is as I thought another autoimmune desease but not according to my haematologist . I will print it off and show her.
