Thank-you for this suggestion MrsD. No one has ever suggested PMR to me although my rheumy has considered other types of Vasculitis such as Behcets. If I get any vasculitic rashes again he wants to see me urgently and get my cryoglobulin retested. Also I was kept in hospital in May because of the possibility of my facial neuropathy being GCA - but this was later ruled out. I only have widespread SFN - not the severe muscle pain of PMR.
