Important to remember this site does not replace your clinician's advice - PLEASE READ.

A really important reminder to everyone that this site is for sharing experiences and helping each other out with PMR and GCA related queries.

Nothing on this forum should replace your clinician's advice. By all means, take this information and discuss with your clinician. There is wealth of information here that can enable you to advocate for yourself.

Likewise if you are replying to someone, please remember that you are sharing your experience and not telling someone what to do. For example, methotrexate works for some and it doesn't work for others. If you've used it, and you want to share that experience, just be careful of the words that you use. It can be invaluable for someone to hear about someone else's experience but that doesn't mean that your experience will be theirs. The same can be said for other drugs and treatments.

Thank you.
