A resounding “hear, hear”.

It's like having a free education isn't it. Joining pmrgca is a good hear hear too. And you get a free lovely blue steroid card that I couldn't get anywhere.

Can't wait for international talk like a pirate day.... 😉

Thanks ladies. Xx

Thank you to Admin and Mods..............however my extra special thanks to 7 women who 12 years ago became:

1) pmrfighters5.

5 women who instigated and then set up, with 20 others PMR GCA UK in March 2008.

And another 3 who joined 2 of the original 5 and then in August 2008 issued a Press Release and started the 1st International survey with the help of 1 man, who was a PMR sufferer and lived in the USA.

"Furious Five’s Trans-Atlantic Hunt over Baby Boomers Mystery Illness"

Is it a first?

International Online Survey Launched, and Devised by Patients for Patients, looking for a cause and cure for 2 mystery illnesses,

POLYMYALGIA RHEUMATICA (PMR) & GIANT CELL ARTERITIS (GCA),

That survey is still running and of the 7 involved 3 are still involved.

Now more women are running support groups all over the UK. I only know 1 man who is running a support group. More research and more help.

I have met many special people on this journey of mine and would not have missed it, yes GCA came along, but so did a different drummer and I learned to walk to that tune.

As PMRpro says: 'Maybe I can't stop the downpour, but I will always join you for a walk in the rain". 12 years now we have walked together. However, I am in remission in 8th year, my mate is not.

Progress has been made and will continued to be made. Cause and Cure will be found, not in my day, but some day and women will have made a big contribution to both.

😢Thanks to all of you. I dread to think where I would be without the advice and compassion shown here. 💜
