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

    Yes Doc Martin hey he did good I only went to my GPS once but by then couldn't get arms up to comb hair.towel myself duty after showering, legs stiff etc, I had classic signs, he took one look at me,went on line, then said he thought I had Pmr, blood testing day, 48hrs later confirmed, and Pred etc,now 28months and back to 1 daily after flare up in May, .Hopefully it may b recognisablemore easily in future. Lots of people just think it's just stiffness etc and don't realise the pain and tiredness.
