About 1 in 6 diagnoses of PMR?GCA are likely to be revised at some point. The usual result is LORA but various other causes of similar symptoms can be on the list. When you look down the possible symptoms here:

you can see that if you get certain things in the early stages it is not unlikely that PMR/GCA might be the answer a doctor comes up with. GPA is even more rare than GCA - so probably doesn't register on the radar until some of the very much more specific things appear.
