Hi I’ve been Trying to find a diagnosis for some time I had an MRI scan which showed lesions on the brain about two years ago I was diagnosed with MS my mum had MS and then I had that diagnosis taken away I was told I had lupus and then that taken away due to bloodwork my only bloodwork that I have is high ACEI see a sarcoidosis specialist and he believes I do not have neurosarcoidosis but UCTD but my rheumatologist says I don’t have a uctd and discharged me I’ve been on 60mg of steroids for a week tapper down 10mg a week and dropped from 10mg to nothing which has made me ill again.

The steroids where for my eye o think optic neuritis type issue although they are not being very clear or investigating Especially now with CD19

I have terrible issues with my neck where my muscles as on my neck are weak I have problems with my eyes headaches floaters spine shakes sometimes and all my lesions are in the wrong area for area for ms temporal lobe i think ! I haven’t had scans for a year now and as it was all due I’m guessing I won’t for a while given everything that is going on!

Anyway any advice would be grate xx

I think it is very unlikely that you have PMR or GCA - although there is one case in the medical literature of a 26 year old it is characteristically an illness of the over 50s, with occasional cases in their 40s. As a result, you are not going to meet anyone in their 30s here I'm afraid.

However, none of what you describe is typical of either PMR or GCA - above all, cerebral lesions are not found in either.

Good luck on your search - but I doubt you will be getting any success in the next few months
