Doc Martin a TV pro on ITV has a patient with PMR and GCA . I can only think the production team has a person suffering with it .
I feel as though perhaps the illness is starting to get the recognition we all deserve . Hooray

Off topic - if Dr Martin is back on screen it's enough for me to go into the expense of buying an aerial so that I can again see English television (I live in Germany).

Stuff neck and shoulders. But she could still raise her arms! Then jaw ache, so a biopsy was performed in surgery, and result received within hours ( second bit reasonable I suppose as it was GCA), and I guess as he is supposed to be a surgeon in previous life he could perform biopsy.
But, at least it's been brought to the public's attention, and it was emphasised about sight loss which is good.

At least my husband now realises the condition truly exists not just in my head .

At the moment nobody seems to know what is wrong with me, but my doctor has been treating me for pmr, and when i went to see the rhemy she seems to think its something else so i am slowly reducing my pred, so hopefull somebody will let me know what is wrong.
But the outcome of the programme is to make people aware of the illness and that cannot be a bad thing as PMR needs to be reconised.
