Research programme

Hi all,

Just wanted to mention something that may be of interest. My rheumatologist asked recently if I’d be interested in being part of a research programme into GCA as very little is know about what causes it. They’re looking into hereditary/lifestyle/stress etc for causes. I’ve got an appointment for blood tests etc next month so I’ll keep you posted!
