Hi,

And welcome,

I’m sure you’re shocked, but have a read through this and then come back with any further questions.

Sure others will pitch in with their own experiences

I suggest you ask questions or you might end up with such an epistle you will regret it!! DorsetLady has already popped up and provided her set piece. But I could write for a week without finishing - so I won't for now!

Hi there,

Start reading past posts and responses, there is so much information here you could read for days. This forum is a life saver for many of us. There are numerous journal and study references to digest as well. Good luck to you and stay close by here. fm

Hi, the book Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis: A Survival Guide by Kate Gilbert is also worth reading.

Welcome to the group and I have one message -- you _can_ survive this and you will! Lean on your medical providers and this forum. It's scary at first, but you're not alone. Lean on the people here and your medical providers and know that you get through this.
