Vasculitis UK is appraising a new medication for GCA. The medication is called Upadacitinib and it is used for other conditions already.

In the next few days we will ask you a few questions so we can represent your views.

Please comment here, send me a message or email Maxine Wright, our trustee who is working with me on this appraisal at maxine@vasculitis.org.uk

Question 1

What is it like to live with GCA? How does it affect your everyday life? How does it affect the people living/caring for you? Carers, please share your views too, they are equally valuable.
