PMR and NMO

Has anyone who has or had polymyalgia, gone on to develop NMO?

Just a thought, probably unrelated.

My mum had PMR a number of years ago, can't remember when. She was later (after the polymyalgia had gone) diagnosed with NMO. Anyone who has this condition will know what it is. It's a very rare autoimmune disease, with similarities to MS.
