Thank you

I took my last steroid yesterday almost 5 years after the first. Those years of steroids for GCA would have been much less easy to bear without this forum and the kind and generous advice I have been given. I am still on Methotrexate but am looking forward to the end of that fairly soon.

Thank you to all who took the trouble to reply to my questions over the years.

Good news!

But remember it still takes body up to a year to get back to normal after steroids- and not every ache and pain is a return of GCA!

Good luck, and keep in touch. We need your experience - you’ve earned it! 🌷
