"Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) are unpleasant and debilitating rheumatological illnesses that generally affect older people and have a devastating effect on the lives of sufferers and those close to them. Untreated GCA can lead to total and irreversible sight loss. Treatment with steroid drugs carries its own risks and health costs. In spite of the problems and dangers caused by these inflammatory illnesses, they are little know and poorly understood. Kate Gilbert has written the book she would have liked to read when she was first diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica. Royalties from the sale of this book are donated to PMRGCAuk www.pmrgcauk.com."--Back cover.
