About PMR- GCA Scotland

Background Information
My name is Jean Miller and after having had PMR & GCA for 4.5 years and of searching unsuccessfully on the web and elsewhere for help, support and information, I set up Tayside PMR & GCA Support in March 2006. Since then we have had support and encouragement from many people and organisations, including the National Medical Research Foundation and Dundee Voluntary Action. We are currently the only Support Group in Scotland, but hope others will be encouraged to set up similar groups. We changed our name to PMR- GCA Scotland in May 2010. We are now recommended on the Patient UK website and also on their list for Health Professionals with the result that GPs all over the UK are referring patients to us.
The purpose of this website is to share and learn from others' experiences and to publicise sources of information and help. By raising awareness of this much neglected group of sufferers we hope to give research some momentum and to increase the understanding of others and of other disciplines in the medical profession. Support Groups provide hope as well as support and encouragement. There are several Support Groups in the UK. Full details are on the Contacts page. (We are no longer Tayside, we are PMR-GCA Scotland.) Any information you provide to us is held strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
