Kate was heavily involved as a founder member of PMRGCAuk and actually was instrumental in setting up this forum. We mention her book very often.

One of my daughters bought it for me two years into PMR/GCA when I was despairing as my GP was clueless and Rheumatologist hellbent on telling me it was in remission. It led me to this forum, still my only source of reliable information.
