OH's cousin is over from Virginia aged 77. He told me he had pmr January 2022 and was started on 60mg of pred. Gosh! Unbelievably high dose. Reduced fast and was off within a year, no problem. Double Gosh! Then June 23 he used some contaminated eye drops from India and ended up with GCA. He had the biopsy as he was losing his sight (which is now fine).Back on 60mg and now down to 2mg already. He expects to be totally pred free this summer.
I can't believe his experience and he can't believe mine as still on 2mg after 8 years!
I have never heard of a case like his but guess these success stories aren't usually posted.
Very uplifting but as I told him, he is a man so be thankful.
